Yesterday I was looking through a BBQ book and saw a picture of a pulled pork sandwich. It looked so yummy! I asked Clark if he knew how to make it and he said we could give it a try today. The recipe said it'd take 4-6 hours so we started around 12:30 thinking it'd be ready around 5:00p. Clark set it up for indirect heat (around 250 degrees) and we basted it every hour. It was looking and smelling delicious! Okay, 5:30 rolls around and we're at 183 degrees and we need to get to 195! AND we still need to let it rest for 15-20 minutes! We eat at 5:30 and I'm thinking we aren't going to eat until 7pm at the rate we were going so Clark turns up the heat to 400! At 5:25 we still aren't at 195, but we pull it off cuz the kids (and me) are STARVING. By the time it rests and we pull it we're looking at close to 6:30pm! Yikes. Well, live and learn. Next time we will have to start at 10am and let it slow cook like the directions said to do. The meat was still good. The kids loved it. Clark too. I thought it was okay. Sure takes a lot of patience to make a pulled pork!
OH! Look familiar? Our train table got finished today! Daddy worked on it while the pork was in the BBQ. The kids are so happy. Daddy set up the tracks and everything. We didn't glue them down, but the kids are having fun playing with the trains.
Baste every hour
Doesn't it look yummy?
Oh no! Is it ever going to reach 195?
