Mexican pulled pork tacos with pron updating with cook

[biffster2001]

Hello today I'm trying a 8.5lb pork butt bone in for some pulled pork tacos.
I'm starting the cook on a vision grill with lump and starting temp of 265 but will be raising as it goes. I think I may be tight for time I have 10 hours for this cook...

Will update photos as I go.

The rub

I made the rub by mixing package taco seasoning with a guacamole seasoning and some brown sugar. And rubbed the pork with yellow mustard to apply.

This sat 1 hour before going to smoker and pork was out 3 hours before smoking

I have been wanting to try pulled pork tacos but haven't to date. Are you just going to pull the meat and make tacos? In my mind, ( I cook in my head sometimes) I thought about pulling the meat, putting it in a very hot skillet with some more rub to brown real fast and then hitting it with some salsa.

Are you saying that your pork butt sat out for 4 hours total?

If so, then I STRONGLY suggest for you to not do that. That's a really long time for your food to be in the danger zone(40-140 degrees).

I will be trying the hot pan and crisp method with left overs.

I plan to pull and light sauce then use as filling. I will taste first to see if I need to add the sauce.

I love making tacos with pulled pork or pulled beef. Sounds good. :thumb:

Leftovers would make glorious chimichangas!

Do yourself a huge favor and make some rolled tacos (or flautas ). The deep fry is a little work but by far the best use of leftover PP

4 hours in last 2 @ 300

Sitting at 151 internal temp

 

[biffster2001]

5.5 hours 162 internal temp holding 300
