Title: A little pork butt action from earlier this morning.
Post by: BrandonLutz on December 09, 2022, 09:49:06 AM
At work we are having our annual Christmas lunch for our floor and this year I'm providing the main course. Pulled these off the Grid Iron around 6 this morning and I have them resting for next 3 hours before we serve them.

I used Simply Marvelous Spicy Apple for the rub and smoked them for the first 2 hours at 200F and then kicked the temp up to 230F to finish the cook. I wrapped them in foil pans at an internal temp of 170F after they got to the color in the photo.

They do look good.  I have to cook about 45 lbs. next week.

Put them on a little after 6 last night. Pulled them out at around 6:30 AM to bring to work. Rested them until 11 AM this morning and then pulled and served.

I wrapped them at probably 5:30 hours into the cook. The color was right and they had all had hit 170ish, and that is when I generally wrap them. After shredding the meat, I finished them with a dusting of spicy apple and drizzled some Blues Hog Tennessee Red into two of the shredded butts and left one with no sauce. I used Pit Boss competition blend pellets for the cook.

Everyone seemed to enjoy it. It was about 30lbs of meat so we should be having sandwiches for a few days now at the office. ;D

I took some of it myself back home to make some pulled pork cornbread, but ate it for breakfast the next morning. Whoops  :rotf:

Details on the pulled-pork cornbread please.

It's pretty simple. Ingredient list below. Just mix everything, pour into a pre-heated 8" cast-iron pan and cook at 425F.

1 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon sugar
¾ cup all purpose flower
1.5 teaspoon baking powder
Half a teaspoon of baking soda
Quarter of a teaspoon of salt

2 eggs
6 tablespoons of melted butter
2 cups of butter milk

2 diced jalapenos
Half a block of shredded pepper jack cheese
8 oz of pulled pork

Cook at 425 for about 20 minutes. Probe cornbread at 20 minutes with a toothpick to make sure it comes out clean. If it does not go a little bit longer until you get a clean toothpick on the test.

Vacuum packed all but two pounds which I'll use today for Posole that will be served after the Seahawks game. The pulled pork corn bread looks tempting, might Give it a try, but I think that I'll try masa instead of corn meal.
