I had to cut away the charred string before I pulled the pork.<br /><br />You are going to get fed smoked pork butt regardless. Getting a nice thermometer would strictly be a bonus. Incidentally, Goldwyn's thermometer comments/recommendations are <a href="http://amazingribs.com/BBQ_buyers_guide/thermometer_buying_guide.html#maverick" rel="nofollow">here</a>.<br /><br />Incidentally, just saw the "Good Eats" episode on pulled pork. Alton Brown brines the shoulder, because he worries the modern pig might not be fatty enough, and he makes his own plant-pot barbecue. He rejects gas grills because he says the water vapor in burning propane is a barrier between the smoke and the meat. I think Goldwyn would totally reject that theory, and I think my meat got plenty smoky.Scholeologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01110359677410211160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11679575.post-1483926007980980322010-06-02T04:22:27.796-04:002010-06-02T04:22:27.796-04:00I am SO impressed! If the pork butt was so tender...I am SO impressed! If the pork butt was so tender at the end, why didn't it fall through the grill grate? The thermometer you bought when you were house sitting during our honeymoon nine years ago works VERY well for this sort of thing. Perhaps we'll have to venture out to Williams Sonoma and pick one up for you while we're in town . . . but only if you feed us some smoked pork butt.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10985641228586503550noreply@blogger.com
