Uncle Dave’s Pulled Pork

Oh my gosh. Fatima and I love being able to go over Uncle Dave’s house for parties. He’s an awesome cook and makes some really delicious food, food that you go back up for seconds and thirds. For his daughter’s birthday (aka my little cousin), he made some delicious pulled pork.

It was a process. You’re going to need to start two days beforehand to let your pork marinate in dry rub overnight. And then another 14 or so hours to cook it, so plan in advance. I went over to his house the night before for a party and stayed up until 1:45am, watching the pork and taking temperature with him until it reach 190 degrees (F). Every hour, we’d lift up the grill cover, take a look, take a temp reading, spray with apple juice and add apple wood chips. As we got closer to the end (within 10 degrees or so) we opened more frequently (about 10-20 mins) reading the temp and adding more wood chips if necessary.

So good, so juicy. I couldn’t wait for dinner. Topped the pork with slaw and dug in. It was awesome. Below is Uncle Dave’s process for the pulled pork. Have you made pulled pork? What do you like to do?
