Pulled Pork Barbecue Recipe

Get you buns and slaw ready because this pulled pork barbecue recipe is supremely easy yet still packed with flavor. It's a great recipe to start out with if you're new to smoking.

For this type of cooking you need a meat smoker set for indirect cooking as opposed to the barbecue grill where the coals are directly heating the meat and this is required because the trick is to cook the pork slowly and at low temperature.

The low and slow cooking method helps breakdown any toughness in the meat so that the end result is supremely tender and the pork can be shredded or pulled apart.

The traditional cut of pork to use for pulled pork is the shoulder (also known as the butt). It's ideal for this type of cooking because it's not the most lean and I guess because of this it's also quite cheap. Unless you're into smoking, you wouldn't normally buy the shoulder.

Pulled pork is typically served as a sandwich with coleslaw and a barbecue sauce. For both these latter two ingredients you can either make or buy. If you’re into homemade the I’ve got bucket loads of barbecue sauce recipes to choose from and there’s also some great chilli barbecue sauces that you can mail order.

This is the absolute basic pulled pork barbecue recipe so if you are a newbie to smoking then this recipe is a great place to start but if you want something with a bit more zing then click here .

Ingredients:-

• Pork shoulder
• White bread buns
• Coleslaw
• Barbecue Sauce!

Method:-

Place the pork on the grid of your smoker and cook for 90 to 120 minutes per pound weight of meat at 98°C or 215°F. (A range of 93°C – 110°C or 200°F – 230°F is acceptable for smoking).

I like to add a water bath under the cooking grate to keep the humidity through the cookout too.

When your pork has had its allotted time, allow to cool for 60 minutes because this helps the pulling apart, and then serve up.

Pull it apart, shred it using bear paws or chop it on a white bread bun leaving the diner to add the sauce of choice and the coleslaw.

This is such a traditional way to cook pork you've just got to give it a go - believe me it's really worth the time and effort.
