I had my first surgery in my life last week, made it to 50 without going under the knife. Broken bone in my foot, tennis injury. I was determined to not let it limit my activities too much, jury is still out on that.

I wanted to do a cook without thinking about anything, so I cooked this overnight, without my Maverick, and basically let the BBQ gods work their magic. The pain meds let me sleep through the night without getting up to check on it.

Me and my 14.5 WSM and my IWalk 2.0.


3.75 lb Pork Shoulder with Rich's Rub.


I used pecan and apple wood for flavor. This was at 10:30PM. Time for bed.


Fast forward to 6:30 AM. At this point it wasn't quite fork tender and the coals were winding down so I wrapped it in foil and put it in the oven at 275 for 2 more hours.


After 2 hours in the oven at 275 and then another hour resting in the oven this is what I had.


Pulled.


And topped on a baker with some SBR.


Wow. This was the most tender and moist PP I have ever cooked. To top it all off I didn't even pay attention to time or temperatures.

Thanks for looking.:cool:
 
Nice pulled pork, and way to 'man up', despite the injury.

BTW: that is the coolest looking 'crutch' I've ever seen.
 
Pat way to play through the pain and not go on the IR!:) I love that little WSM. Must be handy for this type of job. The pork looks like it turned out perfect.
 
Sorry to hear about your surgery Pat. Been down that road myself a few times and I know it's not fun. Delicious looking pulled pork. Love the Pulled Pork Potato. Be careful "backing up" with that IWalk! ;)
 
That PP looks fantastic and putting it on the potato great idea. Hope the foot gets better fast.
