I decided to make pulled pork

Thursday night butts were put on the kamado at 9pm.

time for dinner, the pork was still plenty hot, pulled nicely and was served with regular sauce and apricot sauce. the apricot sauce was the preferred one.

I used to always enjoy the annual Field Day event our local club had in conjunction with the local RACES group. I'm quite inactive now but I did enjoy it for a long time!

Yeah, cool cook post, I loved the extra event description. It looked like you had a lot of fun together. Pulled pork looked delicious and I love the idea of apricot sauce, too!
