Pit Barrel Pulled Pork

[Meatyorology]

I have made pulled pork on the PBC many times but this is the first time I skipped the crutch per Meathead. Given the PBC's limited fuel capacity I was concerned about it stalling and then running out of fuel. In the end I just piled a little extra charcoal into the basket, slapped the meat on the grill grate, set up my Maverick ET-732 and about 8-9 hours later it hit 203. It was slightly drier than past cooks but it was by far my favorite as I really enjoy the crispy bark bits. I will never crutch my pulled pork again if I can avoid doing so. It was so darn easy for the results I got, it almost feels like cheating.

Looks good!

Yeah buddy! I rarely wrap either, unless I am up against the clock or something. You do loose a bit of moisture, but I think the extra bark is worth the sacrifice.

Great looking cook.

I'm with Spinaker no need to wrap. If you know you will be in a hurry just crank her up. Otherwise just wait it out. Yes there is some moisture loss but with bark, juices, and other items you hardly notice.
Nice! I'll have a sammich...please??

Great lookin bark! With your moniker, does that mean you are a meatyorlogist? Sure beats being a vegeteranian.

Yes that was the inspiration, I always chuckled every time I heard the local news introduce the "Chief Meteorologist" and I was like whatever, he's just a weatherman

Well that's cool! The Pit now has its Chief meatyorologist, although I think our weather man might be Danjohnston949.

FireMan, I keep a Round Rock on the Deck Rail, If it's White it's Snow, if it's Wet it's Rain, if it's on the Driveway it's Windy, if it's Rolling Down the Drivewy it's a Storm, and if it's Floating in the Air Get Your A-s to the Basement, "A TORNADO"!

Yes sir! Only crutch if I'm pressed for time. The PBC is an awesome machine. Nice work!
