Pork Shoulder - pulled pork


 
Here's what came off the WSM today!

First time doing a pork shoulder, not much to it and came out extremely nice!

Two chunks of pork for about 5 people. These were around 3 pounds each.

This is about 5 hours in - I basted and turned the meat

Made a nice sweet bbq sauce to go with it.

Thanks for looking!

Yeah this was the sauce:

2 cups cider vinegar
1 1/2 cups apple cider
1 cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons yellow mustard seeds
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 cup tomato paste

Also a little of the rub used on the pork. Came out really nice

Chris, your pork looks EXCELLENT! butt one little sandwich ain't gonna cut it dude!
Four or six of those would be PlatefullPerfect!

Aren't ya gettin' tired of those cook logs yet? I did two ovum then stopped for cocktails

He lost many allies before that picture was taken.

I figure I'll keep the cook logs going for a while. At least until i have a few logs for every type of cook. Then I'll always have a good reference. Trying to remember what worked/didn't work or what was good/not good can be a tough one - especially since the longer the cook the higher the beer intake!
 
The sauce is great and really easy to make.

Just take the ingredients listed above - chuck em in a pot and reduce over medium heat until it gets sticky enough for your likings

I've tried straying from the recipe a little with some great results, just be careful with the amount of cider and vinegar. It will cause your dijon to curdle.

I once kept a smoker log. The ones I kept are still useful...

hey thanks!

I'm getting most of my meat (the pork included) from the butchery in bells corners. I've been looking for a good butcher further west (i'm in kanata) but haven't been able to find anyone.
