We love these tacos. Been really hard to get a Boston Butt lately, so I jumped on it when I finally got one. Unfortunately, not very fatty, so it ran a little dry. Still, not too bad if I don't say so myself. Slide show, slide left or use right arrow

Note the last photo of it. Look familar? :)

Thanks for posting the recipe and photos- something I didn’t know about but will try it out.

Side note- slightly disappointed no “adult imagery”…jk IMG_6794.jpeg

What was the total time and temp on the smokefire?
No pineapple?

Because the butt didn't have much fat, I cooked them at 250 in the SF. The smaller one was done in 3 hours and the other took 4 hours. The recipe calls for 4 hours at 275, but had I cooked these at 275 they would have been done in two hours and probably dry and tough. I had pineapple chunks, and I smoked some in a small bowl. I'm the only one who likes pineapple (tacos, not pizza) so I didn't do a whole pineapple.

Tonight's leftovers. Slideshow, ya the drill

Anyone know of any “Al paster skewer” hacks?

I want to try this but don’t necessarily want more gadgets.

I have a nice set of stainless steel skewers with the round loop end- thinking about ways to utilize these.

I have a rotisserie for the gasser, but want to try this with charcoal.

Thanks in advance.

Al pastor, on sticks!

What else would you cook in California on Independence Day? Wasn’t in the mood for burgers and dogs. Just did ribs, salmon poke, pollo asada and shrimp in lobster sauce. A taco is about American as you can get these days with Mexican food being everywhere. So, here’s to some Al Pastor but...

Thanks Brett- A rotisserie for the WSC is in my future for just such occasions, the only question is how far in the future. And I am going to the store to get some hefeweizen, lol- my favorite German beer.
 
If you are looking for some really good flour tortillas without any preservatives and only 5 ingredients, I found these fresh ones in the fridge section at Walmart. They take about a minute to cook in a medium hot fry pan and come out warm, soft, and flexible.

Thanks for the link on the platter! The shorter spear will fit on a 14" WSM (edit to add top rack. That photo shows a 3 lb boneless butt roast. When I have forethought to have my butcher slice a full butt, I will either use the longer spear and bottom rack... or a different smoker altogether.)
