Put THAT in Your Pork and Smoke It! Carnitas

[jwh]

Well, I'm gonna smoke a pork butt today, but it ain't properly barbecue in the East Coast sense. I marinaded the 7lber in a Chiles, Lime, & Ginger marinade overnight. Just rubbed it with Salt, Pepper, Cumin, Chili Powder, Paprika, and Garlic Powder and am about to put it in some smoke on Weber Smokey Mountain. I may braise it in some onions, serranos, tomato sauce, and apple cider vinegar after 4-5 hours, or I may just let it cook all the way through. I've not yet decided.

Either way sounds good.

I think you just came up with the greatest BBQ team name ever: Put That in Your Pork and Smoke It!

Either way sounds good to me.

I did come up with that this a few minutes ago, but I doubt its origin lies with me.

Feel free to use it. I tend to be more of a Brisket man, so it might not suit a potential Team Name.

Poblano Serrano Chile Sauce

I'm also gonna smoke a Poblano Serrano Chile Sauce for some added flavor and moisture (and a little heat).

Looks like you're off to a killer start! We had the same picture as your avatar hanging in our house while growing up reminds me of those days

Sauce is ready. Will let it sit & set in the fridge over night.

Out for a foil-wrap and a spritz, then back to the smoker.

:-D:-D Whaaaa, that looks great!

That looks really good. I tried putting a marinade I use for Carnitas on a butt once and it turned out horrible. All we could taste was the Cumin. Even the dogs didn't like it. Probably my fault, but it made me afraid to try again...

Now that looks like some fine pork butt there.:thumb:

Cuban sandwiches coming up with some of that?

I do like pork done that way now and then.
