The orphan in question is my '15 OTS 18 converted to OTG minus one handle. Found it in a Publix supermarket dumpster. One wheel sticking up above the edge, that I saw while driving by. Score!Probably only used once for a demo and then tossed. It was put together cattywampus as well.
The cook:
Oops, I was in a hurry, thought I grabbed a pork butt. I wanted some pulled pork sammys for the gator game last night.
Rinsed with apple cider vinegar, and the skin cut back to get rub underneath.
Rubbed down, wrapped going in the fridge overnight.
I put it on at 6:30 AM. Using a 2 x 2 snake with hickory chips between the two layers. Started up nine or 10 coals to get it started. Riding at 265 when I left the house to go to work. Nine hours later and.....
Temp was right at 250 when I got back home and pulled the lid for the first time in nine hours.
I absolutely love The Orphan! Not vintage but my most trusted and dialed in cooker. Since it was a picnic ham, I decided to pull it at 165 to slice.
I am too southern for my own good sometimes. Heart attack on a plate. The skin…
Deep fried smoked cracklin's,aka pork rinds. I had one, awesome. I can't eat like this anymore! I will save the rest for my kids and grandkids.
A picnic ham is a whole Nother animal, compared to a pork butt. But, the nice thing is I got some sliced,pulled,chunked,cracklins and a nice bone to flavor up some greens on Sunday!
