pulled pork
I bought 2 nice fresh bone in pork butt roasts on sale.
Coated all over with fresh squeezed lime and let sit in a pan in the fridge overnight.
Rubbed all over with olive oil and yellow mustard then covered with an ancho dry rub and allowed to come to room temp while I got the charcoal fired and the pit barrel ready. Apple wood for smoke.
Placed on grate at the top of the barrel and lidded. Turned meat frequently and sprayed with root beer w some lime juice and a little cider vinegar added.
Slow smoked for 5 hours with a little brown sugar added last hour until it had a good bark rind all over, the bone was loose, and the brown sugar caramelized.
Double wrapped in foil and poured rest of the root beer over them before I sealed them up and put them back on for another 2.5 hours.
Let them sit for 30 minutes in the foil.
fell apart and almost shredded itself when unwrapped.
Coated some new potatoes in olive oil and wrapped in foil and dropped them on the coals in the bottom of the pit barrel to have with it.
Yeah it was pretty damn good
