Got 30 people coming for a party tonight and I'm doing pulled pork. Got a couple of good sized shoulders going today.
Here they are after an initial application of MHGP and an overnight nap in the fridge.
And after the obligatory reapplication before hitting the smoker.
On the smoker they go.
Heh, I briefly considered doing three. I don't think three would fit. Would have had to break out the top rack.
Cooking over RO lump with peach wood chunks mixed in. Gonna be cloudy and rainy today so we're cooking under the patio.
The Auber is in control and showing a temp of 225°. However the Teltru on the side is showing 252°. Wonder which one is correct? I'm thinking they both are.
Those are BIG hunks of meat that were in a cold fridge overnight. And the probe is nestled right in between them. I imagine there is a lot of evaporation taking place at that spot which could explain the temp difference between the middle and edge. If I could get a second opinion from one of the resident engineers, that would be great.
The controller fan is pulsing steady so it's putting out some effort to keep the temp up. I imagine the probe and gauge temp difference will narrow as the day goes on and then I can creep the controller up towards 250ish° to finish.
More later.
