First time pulled pork.... Finally!

[GoAnywhereJeep]

Got everything seasoned up around 4:00 this morning.
Temps have been holding about 250 on both since everything stabilized. Internal temps are about 120 degrees right now.

LOL....  I was out sneaking around the back yard this morning too. Finished up two butts. They were pulled off the grill and put into foil and inside the cooler at ~1:30am for a 2 hr rest. Finished shredding the pork at 4am and went to bead.

Well it was a success. First butt came off after 8 hours and second one came off at 12.5 hours. I think the probe in the second one was too close to the bone so the temp never hit the intended 203 degrees. Both stalled for 2 - 3 hours. Everyone loved it and we have a ton of leftovers.

The color looks great. Nice work. Try making pulled pork nachos with some of the leftovers.

Thanks. Already thinking about the possibilities of the leftovers.

Lots of options...

Obviously BBQ Pork sandwiches.

Beyond that though...you can chunk/chop the pan fry and make crispy pork tacos (similar to carnitas).

Use the meat and make enchiladas. It will add a depth of flavor not found using braised meat.

Or our favorite is Mike Mills BBQ Spaghetti. Basically its pasta with a bbq/red sauce combination and pulled pork instead of meat balls. It's sounds weird. But seriously, I've learned to make nothing short of a double batch as to make my wife happy. You don't have to use spaghetti noodles either...I usually use something smaller like Penne Ziti Rigate or Gemelli. It's delicious!
