that's a good one

Root beer pulled deer(venison)

Sounds interesting. I'm gonna have to try that. I have 2 or 3 15# butts in the freezer.

I usually use a method similar to "Flaves and they turn out excellent as well but I usually pull it before just before it gets to the shredding stage as I liked it sliced better.

The last few years every confirmation, graduation, wedding etc., people had pulled meat weather it be turkey or pork, it just got old.

I prefer chopped to pulled but it’s all good to me.

As mentioned, season well, get plenty of smoke on it, and let it rest a bit. Trim it up pretty well before you put it on the smoker. It still will likely have plenty of fat.

Cook it the same just chop it up?

Would think maybe cook for less time.

You can do it the same amount of time.

You just need a sharp knife and know how to cut up a roast.

It's strictly a texture thing.

You know how you alleviate that?

You stop going to confirmations, graduations, and weddings.

If you want to cut it, and you are going to let it cool.
Cut it after it gets cold. Fridge temps are good.
It gets solid and slices nice.

Yes sir. It's definitely a texture thing. I like to get a pretty good dry bark on it and when you chop it, it gets a good mix of crispy and somewhat dry bits with the fatty meat all mixed together.

Pulled is fine. Mushy pulled pork ain't so good.

Spicy Dr Pepper Pulled Pork

2 whole Large Sweet Onions
1 whole Pork Shoulder (Butt) about 5 To 7 Pounds
Salt And Freshly Ground Black Pepper
2 cans (7 Ounce) Chipotle Peppers In Adobo Sauce
2 cans Dr. Pepper (I used 20 ounces from a large bottle)
1/2 tsp Cumin
2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.

Peel the onions and cut them into wedges. Place them in the bottom of a large dutch oven, sprinkle cumin across the top of the onion wedges.

Salt and pepper the pork roast, then set it on top of the onions in the pan.

Pour the cans of chipotle peppers over the pork (including the sauce.) Now pour in both cans of Dr Pepper. Add brown sugar, stir in. (After 4 hours of cooking I tasted the sauce for the balance of heat against sweet, which led to me using an extra tablespoon of brown sugar).


Put the lid tightly on pot, then place pot in the oven. Cook for at least six hours, turn the roast two or three times during the cooking time. After 6 hours check the meat, it should be falling apart (use two forks to test.) If it�s not, return to the oven for another hour.

Take the meat out of the pot and place on a cutting board. Use two forks to shred meat, pick out any large pieces of fat and discard. Strain as much of the fat off the top of the cooking liquid as you can and discard. Return the shredded meat to the cooking liquid, and keep warm until ready to serve (I placed it in the oven, covered at 200 degrees).

Thats the only way to make pulled pork. Gotta have smoke. Pick up a pork should and slow cook it, makes my mouth water just typing this.

Like this

I still smoke a pork butt occasionally and vac pac to portions for Cubano's, but to this day I can't get a straight pulled pork sandwich down. I ate so much of that crap from our competitions and catering jobs I almost even struggle with the smell when I pull it. Ribs, chicken, brisket, no problem. As far as what process to use, see flave's post.

I cooked one a couple days ago.


8 pounds.

No binder. Bbq rub.

Weber Smokey Mountain. Pecan smoke wood.


No spritz. No wrap.

12 hours.


It was very good.

Sounds great. I stop when internal temp gets to 202'ish, then wrap it in foil and put in a cooler for a couple of hours or so, then shred it.

y'all got me ready to do some smoking.....

WTH is a confirmation?

In Christian denominations that practice infant baptism, confirmation is seen as the sealing of the covenant created in baptism. Those being confirmed are known as confirmands. For adults, it is an affirmation of belief.

Grew up baptist. Submersion as a teenager. Bathtub behind the pulpit, not muddy River consensual pseudo drowning ala oh brother where art thou type thing.

Please don’t say in Christian denominations infant baptism is practiced. That is just as incorrect as all the men calling everything they heat on a gas grill as bbq.
