Now just need some beer.....

[Toihva]

So, spent 6pm to 6am smoking this wonderful bone in Boston Butt with homemade rub and store bought marinade injection over combination of hickory and apple wood. Sad thing is, no beer to wash it down with since had some unexpected expenses pop up.

Those not familiar with pulled pork or US BBQ, the outer part isn't burnt, well, not overly bad. Instead, that's a crust that was formed from the rub and smoke. It is really good.

And as far as the meat, so tender, just shred it with your bare hands.

Enjoy the food porn.

Those curious about the recipe:

3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
1/4 to 1/2 cup of Paprika (figure one small bottle)
1 Tablespoon of Ground Ginger and Cayenne Pepper
About 2 tablespoons of Salt and pepper.

Marinade Injection was Zatarain's Creole Butter Injection (can get it from Walmart)

This is something to try when you BBQ pork again. People will look at you like you have 3 heads until they taste it.

Honey Bourbon Peaches
Hot BBQ grill. You can cook the pork first, but then let the heat rise to 450 after you remove it.

Southern US variation:
1/4 cup of bourbon (We use 1835, but any good quality corn whiskey will likely do)
1/4 cup honey
1/8th cup butter
you can add a pinch of ground ginger, it brings out a bit extra flavor.

Mix the these ingredients in a sauce pan, and melt them together. Then cut the peaches in half, and remove the pit, and coat them liberally with the honey bourbon sauce. Grill them cut side down, 5 minutes or so until the peaches get soft, and the honey bourbon sauce caramelizes. If it looks black, that's OK.

Serve the peaches with the pork, as if it's a vegetable. You can add a fresh mint leaf to each too if you like that with pork.

The sauce works as a glaze for pork chops, and pork roast too. So does this:

A Canadian /US NorthEast variation:
Use Crown Royal instead of Bourbon
Use Maple Syrup and a spoon of brown sugar (1 tablespoon-ish) instead of honey
Cook a little longer to get the sugar to melt,
then add a sprig or pinch of cinnamon instead of Ginger.
The peaches need to cook a little faster too. this isn't quite as sticky.

Mmmmmm... I also love to rub my own meat and watch the juice come out.

... just make sure you wash your hands after.

Side: my oldest daughter (she's 20) saw this thread and said, "Tell him that lots of people think meat is better if it's not dry rubbed to quite that extent"

This makes me wish that the technology existed to be able to reach into ones monitor and pull out the item.

May have to use bit less, but used the ratio friend gave me who makes excellent BBQ for 1 Butt and actually had decent amount of rub leftover.
