Go Anywhere Pork Shanks

[DrewZ]

Picked up a CGA for $15 on Friday.  Saw these on sale on Saturday.  Why not try a low and slow first cook?



About 6 briqs in the mini chimney and a firebrick buffer



Filled one side of the CGA with lump and off she goes





After about 3 hours of temps between 200 and 250, they were probing around 170 IT, so they got foiled with chicken stock, garlic and onions



After another 2 hours in the foil, probing around 195, but not quite fully probe tender



After another hour in the foil and a little rest, these things pulled beautifully.  The CGA worked like a champ.  Temps held steady even with a bit too much lid lifting by yours truly.  I had to add a few briqs for the last hour, but I blame that on user error, as I didn't have the lump packed very well.  With a well-packed fuel chamber, the little bugger could probably go 6-7 hours without a refill.

Yep.  2 skinny fire bricks.  They fit just about perfectly side to side and charcoal grate to cooking grate.
