As the title says. I picked one up this morning - a five-pounder for my gf and I (and my two pitbulls). I plan on smoking it on Saturday and I practically want to smoke this thing when I get home from work tonight! Damn smoker!
Well, I'm debating about whether or not to use a vinegar-based sauce (not too much of a vinegar fan) or a tomato-based sauce. I've found some recipes for both and that's something I'm still trying to decide on. One of my favorite BBQ sauces (commercial) is Sweet Baby Ray's. Although this sauce may be too thick for BBQ'd pulled pork, I dig the flavor. However, I do not want to commit sin by using it. hah
I'm psyched more than anything.
One question: Do you guys ever pull the pork and throw it back onto the smoker (in a pan) with sauce added to it? Just wondering how many people do that regularly or just put the sauce on the sandwich when it's feeding time.
While I'm at it, who here marinades versus dry-rubbing? I have an awesome rub I picked up from a shop on Long Beach Island in New Jersey this summer (Okie's Butcher Shop) and was planning on using that...as I've used it on some ribs I made in the oven at my cousin's beach house out there - They tasted great with the rub.
