Pulled Pork?

[speakerman39]

Folks, just love me some Boston Butt! Pulled pork is the BOMB!!!!!!! Just curious if anyone here loves it as much as me? I take the butts to a local BBQ place and let them cook them for me. Then, bring them home to pull apart. Easier to pull apart while it is still hot. Once pulled into my slow cooker it goes. Add (2) 28 oz. bottles of Sweet Baby Ray's Honey BBQ Sauce. In about an hour or so it is ready to eat! Needless to say, it is absolutely delicious! YUMMY!

Cheers,

Phil

Not sure where Kevil is, but I live close to Moonlite BBQ in Owensboro, KY. It is about a 30 minute drive, but they have the best mutton you ever tasted! BTW, Owensboro is where Johnny Depp was born and the home of Tyleracoustics! Man, this pulled pork is AWESOME!

We have a grocery store chain that opened a higher-end store with more prepared foods that are ready to eat with seating areas if someone wants to eat it on-site. The newest one is closer to my house, so I have been going there more often than the run of the mill store (and more of my money ends up staying there, too) because I wanted to try some new items. Every time I went there, the BBQ area beaconed, but I resisted. Until two weeks ago. I looked at the menu, chatted with someone who was ordering for their family and decided that $6 was too much for a pulled pork sandwich, but not too much to pay for a whole pound. I told them that I can buy my own rolls. It's great without sauce, too. They have a few types of sauce- KC, Texas and North Carolina- not too geeked on the mustard-based sauce but the others are good, with the heat of the Texas winning, for me.

Outside of Paducah about 35 minutes.

Not too far from me then. Paducah is almost (2)-hours from me. Nice town. Been there many times. About the same size of my hometown. Next time, I am down that way will be sure to check out Leighs BBQ! Thanks!

Cheers,

Interesting-personally have to watch the heat! Have to be very careful with that. It is so hard too, because I love spicy foods....LOL!!!!! It just does NOT like me!

Their sauce IIRC is ground white and black pepper, cayenne, apple cider vinegar, cumin and water. Not thick and all the heat is in the after bite. Its more of a soak as their shoulders were cold smoked.

Sure sounds good. Haven't built a good smoker yet, one of these days....

I do regularly make carnitas with pork butt, though. Current method is using a dutch oven in the oven steeped in beer (and maybe some tequila...at least for the cook) with some chopped jalapenos, achiote, oranges, onions, carrots, chipotle and garlic. Once cooked remove excess fat and shred it then under the broiler for a little crisping up along with some of that nice cooking juice....making me hungry now.

Love both styles but I'm partial to the Eastern North Carolina barbecue pork..."is normally made by the use of the "whole hog", where the entire pig is barbecued and the meat from all parts of the pig are chopped and mixed together. Eastern North Carolina barbecue uses a thin sauce made of vinegar and spices (often simply cayenne pepper)."

Shoot man you are making me hungry.....LOL!!!! Sounds like a good recipe! Just have to tame the heat like I tame the peaks....LOL!!!!!

I see. My Philippine sister is cooking a lechon this Saturday. That is an entire pig that is cooked in the ground. I mean everything-head, feet, ears, eyes, and etc. The skin tastes just like bacon and other parts taste like ham! Of course, the butts tastes like pulled pork. It is like you get all the best a pig has to offer. Only ALL at once! It is absolutely delicious! Will be eating good in the neighborhood come Saturday!

I grow Chili peppers and a couple of years ago, the first one I tried at the beginning of picking them was just a cute little thing. I cut a tiny piece of the end off, popped it in and bit it- first I felt the heat and then, my tongue went numb. Very hot, but in moderation, they add a lot of flavor.

It's not that "hot", although I can make it with more heat by throwing a lot more jalapenos plus some serranos in there, but that's not my goal usually. It's my spin on a sort of cochinita pibil

YOU are much more brave than me. As much as I love spicy foods, just have to leave them alone. Learned the hard way. Made the mistake one time of ordering some so called Asian Zing. Did not taste too hot when I first ate it, but good Lord about 30-minutes later I was feeling it. Will NEVER do that one again....LOL!!!!

Oh I am about a little over an hour from KY lake. Depends on my driving....LOL!!!! Been there many times. Next time you go, give me a shout and we will meet up for lunch. That would be interesting.

Not hot is good. The ONLY thing I can tolerate hot is well you know......right?

If you notice, a lot of food with peppers either contains milk/cream/cheese because it tempers the heat. The heat in peppers is oil soluble and that's the reason water does approximately squat to stop the burning. Start with milk or cheese and it shouldn't be so bad.

I dried some of the peppers and crush them when I put them in stir fry or chili and one time, I noticed that my eye brows felt a bit warm- the power had become airborne and somehow, that's where it landed. Glad it didn't get in my eyes.
