Pulled pork for work

[Huh? What?]

My employer is downsizing. We have a couple of guys at work taking early retirement offers. My shop is holding a lunch for them on Saturday, and I got asked to smoke something for the occasion, so I'm doing pulled pork.


I picked up fifteen pounds of pork shoulder today to make pulled pork. I injected it with marinade, then rubbed it with brown sugar, and a commercial Italian seasoning blend from Costco.

This will get smoked with hickory wood tomorrow, then pulled, and packaged to take to work.

Pork shoulder injection marinade

¾ cup orange juice
½ cup water
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup kosher salt
¼ cup lime juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon granulated garlic
1 tablespoon granulated onion


I'll post pics of the finished product tomorrow afternoon/evening

Isn't it hard to inject after it's pulled

 

[Huh? What?]

Oops, sorry. Meant to say I picked up pork shoulder to make pulled pork.

My mother-in-law has problems remembering to put her stuff away after she uses it.

Maybe he's getting ready for thanksgiving. Popcorn stuffing! You fill the bird with popcorn and when it blows the butt off of the turkey it's done. Could work on the pork shoulder...

Just kidding, sounds like a great plan for the pulled pork.
