Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Pulled Pork question for the pit masters

I don't as some like a lot of sauce, some like none some like hot some like mild, etc. When I cook, I give you meat, dress as you will once it is on your plate.

Well yall’s hero Northern Dave, good dude and all

Trims the fat from his butts to the point that they look as if a Rottweiler attacked it first. Before he begins even setting them on the grill.

Damndest thing I ever saw with regards to bbq’ing

Been 4-5 years since that post, but it’s seared in my mind.

Thank you gents. And particularly slummy with that detailed answer I can easily visualize. I believe we are all in agreement here - at least 1/2 the fat stays. From there it’s personal. More importantly, there IS such a thing as over-picked or cleaned pulled pork. I have been guilty of it in the past. I go forth and sin no more.

Sauce????

You dont put no farkin sauce on it..

Sheesh

😕😂

When I do an 8lb butt

There is the bone to toss into the trash

And usually about a baseball sized pile of undesirable white gooeey fat, unrendered collagen strands and unknown slimy wads.

All go into the Yellow Labrador garbage disposal

LOL. That’s what I do.

Put a scorch on all sides while on the grill, then in the crackpot.
It’s fabulous.


Too much fat is like a colonoscopy prep.

I do enjoy it lightly dressed with some peppered vinegar sauce. The fattier the meat, the more this dressing seems to compliment it. As far as the external cap, yes, it varies greatly Case to case and butt to butt. I do like to score the heavily capped ones, but am always disappointed by butts that have little on them. Certainly would never carve it off.

Sauce is the drippings/renderings + whatever else you want.

Me, wet meat, with softened onions + dry coleslaw on a pretzel bun, please & thank you !

I’m just messing with you.

You’ll get the “no beans in chili type” purists. “Sauce is for pussies, what you need is some of my nasty handlebar mustache whiskers in your meat”

whatever

We have vinegar/cayenne, I’ll squirt that into my potato salad, my baked beans, my cole slaw. 😃😃👏🏻👏🏻

I've been thinking about searing in a non stick skillet and pressure cooking
it in the Instapot. Maybe add some Kraft BBQ sauce, a bit of MW.
















And beans.

However you like it.

Seems like such a wasted amount of work for a sandwich...


Nothing wrong with just eating cut off slabs of it.
Or slicing it for a sandwich
Espeically the outer bark stuff
Just eat that like it is.
Food of the Gods....




Tell the ungtatefull fussy fuggs if they wanta a pulled pork sandwich.

Hand em a bowl of slabs and some buns.

Have at it.....
Bottles of what the fugg ever over their for ya....

IMO..
YMMV.....

No

Dont let em do that

They will cut all the bark off and just leave with the bland, inner dense muscle

My brother in law did that, cut all the smoke ring off of a ham and ate it like a pig. Showed up with a ham that looked like it had been rolled around in that drum potato peeler at golden corral

Hethen!

I'm with you on this! ^^^^^^

I'm pretty much no nonsense, no muss, no fuss. Most of my smoked butts are for a bunch of guys on a poker night. Just pull it all apart , toss it in a foil pan, mix in some softened onions, a bottle of BBQ sauce and a cup of bourbon. If they have a problem with the fat, I don't know about it. Never goes to waste.

Vinegar with red pepper and a little hot sauce. 👍

I’d like to be able to do it like that. I don’t mind, I can pick my way thru it and I like it little fatty.
Even better the next day in the fridge

Unfortunately I’m usually serving a bunch of women and old whiney dudes.
White people

Same boat, here go through it and clean it up mostly. Add back some of the drippings, let them add whatever they want for sauce.

Schit...it's your pork. Do it how you like.

Trim the hell out of it at the start and toss any fat you find at pulling time if that's what you want.

Eventually you will find a balance you like.

This commercial Chinese pork is so damn lean anyway...I doubt you should toss too much fat.
