This weekend we made pulled pork. I must say this must of been one of my best in recent memory.

Started with a mix of hickory and Cherry. Then got lazy and just laid a big piece of cherry on top.



Pork butt rubs with a home made bbq rub that a friend sent me.



A few hours in



Then I wrapoed and decided to add butter. That was it



Plated and ready to eat



Sunday had some breakfast



Sunday night Maribel made pulled pork taquitos





Here's a 15 second Instagram video of the cook.

Thanks for looking

Another excellent cook...surprise, surprise! I like that butter trick

Isn't that cherry wood great? There's a cherry orchard not even an 1/8" mile from my house, last year I made them a baby back and filled my pick up with trimmings, I noticed they have another large pile of trimmings, I'll have to go see if they would like some pizza

I like it. I even with that big piece of cherry nothing was over smoked or bitter.
 
Tony, did you notice a more distinct smoke ring after using the cherry? I read where cherry helps give a beautiful color, and when I used it (cherry, for the 1st time) I noticed a more defined (more mahogany colored) smoke ring. Anither great looking meal!

This is weird Tony. I placed a comment on this thread earlier today and now I don't see it. Anyway, looks great. I had remarked how I liked the same photo Jim singled out!

To be honest Tim I didn't pay attention to the smoke Ring. When I was pulling apart I had friends and family looking and getting bits and pieces.

But I did notice a "clean" smoke flavor not sure if that makes sense.
