Knows what a fatty is.
I plan on cooking up a this little guy on Sunday
What is the recommended cook time with this? Hour a pound? Also how you recommend I prepare it? Also how should I serve it? Shredded?
You can just slice it up. I wasn't trying to be a smarty. When I did my pulled pork, it took FOREVER to get past the stall.I know its done when its done, but I was just trying to get a general idea. Thanks for the suggestions. Is there any reason I couldnt just slice it up?
Start it early or you might be ordering pizza I'd budget 2 hours a pound for your first run at it. No shame in finishing in the oven either.
You can slice it if you like, although then you'll want to pull it off the cooker earlier so its a little firmer. I taking it to 200 degrees and shredding it personally.
It probably won't take two hours a pound, but you can always wrap it up and put it in the cooler for a while to hold it til dinner time. Besides you get a little extra wiggle room if its taking you longer to get your fire going or meat trimmed, etc.LOL. I guess your right with the pizza then. So your thinking 12 hours for this thing huh? Ill give it a shot shreading it too then.
Hum.. Thats not going to be fun if I have to refill the coals. I havnt tried a long burn with this thing yet. The most I have run for is about 5 hours but I did have enough coals left for smores... and when i left for work at 630 am it was still kinda warm. Ill keep ya posted on how it goes. I think Im going to inject it too.
What kind of ECB do you have? Any modifications on it?
My ECB (and I'm sure Brethren get tired of hearing this.....:becky has run for 12 hours + without adding coals. Are you familiar with the minion method?

You shouldn't have a problem running that baby on a long cook, unless it's "stock". is it a Gourmet Brinkmann? A Cajun Cooker? Whatcha got?
