Our nephew visiting this weekend and requested pulled pork. Friends chimed in with endorsement. So last night, my son and I salted and rubbed two 9 pound Boston butts. Here's one of them at 4 AM next morning.
Prepped a mop sauce with Raichlen's recipe, including cider vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, jalapenos, onion, etc. Some say it doesn't make a difference--I think it does.
Mopping the pork about every hour. This was at 5:15 AM.
Looking good. The bark was awesome, and I swear the mop helped.
We're about 12 hours in and it's still not there. WSM 22 has held close to 250 all day. I finally got impatient and opened the vents, so temp started climbing toward 300. I finally pulled it off the WSM after almost 14 hours and it probed like butter. Internal temp measured 195.
Pulling it with bear claws that I got for Christmas. Finally!
Here's one of the first plates. I believe it's my older son's plate.
It was so good! Sides included macaroni salad, Carolina cole slaw, and baked beans. Have a great weekend!

Looks great...I'll have to try that mop.
