My first Pulled Pork

Yesterday at 6am the night was over.

5 pounds of pork neck have been smoked for pulled pork with cherry wood.

I used a minion ring with heat beads and had a stable temperatur inside of the pit round about 215°F and 230° F


A self made rub with some freshly ground dry chillis, dry lime leaves and course sea salt. The rest was a mix of hot and sweet paprika, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper and brown sugar.

At 18:40pm it reached 200°F and was wrapped in aluminumfoil for 30minutes It came out mostly tender and juicy. There were some spots where the meat was a bit dry, because it hadn't enough fat there.
I think next time I will use pork shoulder instead of pork neck, with more fat on the top.

Served with buns and coleslaw and also my first selfmade ketchup ( a video how I made the ketchup comes soon )

Fire on

6am in the morning the meat was rubbed the day before

Thank's for watching
 
The pork looks wonderful , Stefan. Did that one snake of charcoal do the whole 12 hr cook? Did you have to add more fuel at any time? Also , you mention "heat beads" .....
I am not familiar with that term. Vas ist? :cool: Danke.

Hi... to answer all the questions...

@ Frank H

Yes it cooked the whole 12 hours and one third of the charcoals where left....so it could have cooked additional 3 or 4 hours with no problem.
The Heat Beads are australien briquets. I think IMHO they are similar or better then the weber long lasting

@ Enrico
The kettle is a 26" OT Premium Weber grill.. this is my third in the family of Weber grills. I also have the 18,5" and 22,5" pits.

Thank's for watching

Cheers

Stefan
