I’m doing some pulled pork in a few weeks. I have used some rendered pork lard (I have bought it in an tub) after the bark has set and I wrap it up with some in it. I have a tub of beef tallow, and I don’t want to buy pork lard since I ran out.
Do you think beef tallow is just fine with the pulled pork? I also have some bacon grease. Think that is better or worse? I’m thinking bacon grease is too strong.

Hey, how strong is the tallow? Do you think it could over-power it? I’m not stating a fact, just thinking out loud. I make lip balm from tallow and “clean” the fat so it’s not too “beefy”.
Cmon now y’all! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The lip balm is totally neutral. And that’s because I “wash” it so many times. (Next secret Santa gift is forming in my little brain!)
Yes, you can use it, but I would not for no particular reason. I have never tried that and it just doesn't sound good.
Give it a try and report back. Please.
Wrapping in foil works well as it saves the juices and is poured back on the pulled pork.
