Serious pulled pork question

ClintHTX · 01-02-2012, 07:24 PM

My wife does not like pulled pork... She has ate it twice by my mother in law and it has made her very sick. Could it be that my mother in law didn't cook it until it was done? Btw I ate it once and it made me sick. And also she cooked it in a crock pot. What in trying to get to is I'm new to smoking and want to smoke a pork butt and somehow need to prove to her maybe it was her mother didn't cook it right? HELP!

I have eaten crock pot pork, and gotten sick because all of the grease upset my stomach. Could this be the problem?

Fire up smoker to 275F indirect. Place unseasoned pork butt in smoker. Cook for 3 hours. Wrap in foil. Cook for about another 2 hours. Remove when internal temp reaches 198F. Place in cooler or blanket and let rest at least 1 hour. Remove from cooler, pull, season and/or sauce as needed, and enjoy.

Better than any crock pot pork anywhere.

If you want to go all North Carolina, when you remove it from the smoker, place it over high heat coals direct and let the outside crisp up then put it in cooler.

I'd start there, then work over to some rub but I doubt it will need any. If you do use rub like Plowboys or some other rub with sugar, skip the hot coals, direct step.

Could you and your wife be sensitive to something your MIL uses such as MSG?

stubshaft · 01-02-2012, 09:20 PM

Could be a combination of excess grease and some type of seasoning.

This is really weird, but my wife has trouble eating any pork for some reason. It upsets her stomach, no matter what. Weird.

Pork is a major problem for folks that have a gall bladder that is going bad. Could be that is the problem.

My wife is the same with beef. IBS is a bitch!

Crisp up the outside?? We crisp up the skin when there is a skin, not the meat on the outside of a butt

Could be that it wasn't cooked properly - get to 140 quick enough etc. It could also be the grease or the sauce she used - it could be a dozen different things.
Has your wife ever been able to eat pork? Chops perhaps? If yes and she had no side effects I say go for smoking a butt or shoulder.

Some of you do crisp up the outside.

In fact, the meat like that is either chopped or put on sammies and called "outside" meat. I worked at a place for over 3 years that did that when i was in high school. There are several ways of cooking NC BBQ. Not all of it is just overcooked, vinegar soaked, mushy chopped pork, though a lot of it is.

Oh, I'm not likin' this at all. I've always commented that it's the strangest thing as much as I love pork, it disagrees with me regularly. When my mom was a few years older than I am now, she had her gallbladder removed.

uh oh
