Pulled Pork Tacos

[Hofy]

My wife and I went to the big pork sale this last friday.  One of the things I got was a 14 pound twin packer for $1.49 / lb.

In the cart with a couple of whole loins.



I experimented with the snake set up for smoking on a regular kettle this last fall.  This is my first big and long cook using this method.



The 7 pounder rubbed and ready.



About an hour in.  First wood chunk is gone and color is starting to take.



10 hours later the charcoal was almost gone and the internal temp had hit 210 deg.  Foiled, wrapped in towels and off to bed.



Nice bark and falling apart.



I dont use no fancy single use plastic claws to pull, just regular old forks.



The final product that the whole family enjoyed.

Looks great, that's a big snake, what kind of temps did it run at?
Great looking tacos!

Temps held between 225 and 250.  Air temp was around 30 deg in the day, dropping to the low 20s after dark.

What were your vent settings? Great looking cook and awesome snake build.

Very nice!!
Reminds me of Carnitas

Kingsford stacks easy so I have only about 5 minutes to lay it out in a snake.

Vent settings - this is a 3 wheeler, so one open and the other 2 closed.  Top vent open.
