Not much if a smoke ring. Looks tough. Your fire is too hot, quit trying to throw so many logs on it.

If it doesn't fall to pieces when you go to take it out of the smoker, you didn't do it right.

It's making me want to fire up the smoker this weekend.

Don't really agree, although I enjoy dry ribs for their highly unique quality.

This is laughably wrong. Their style is simply dumping a bunch of sugar-ketchup on the meat.

No. It’s from North Carolina. Vinegar based or GTFO.

The meat will basically fall off the bone after you've rested it. Or you just grab the bone and it slides right out.

Did you even watch the video, or are you just shooting words out your arse?

No, I watched the gif you posted of the the guy tugging with tongs at the pork that's not cooked long enough. All I need to see.

Who smokes a shoulder and leaves that massive fat cap on it? Trim your meat beforehand or... remove after cooking. Definitely don’t do what he did and mix it right into his money meat.

Texas don’t know shite about pork.

Ok...you’re probably correct.

I don’t like a thick BBQ sauce...makes everything taste the same.

I watched your video. He had to pull a junk of meat off the bone. Just like I thought.

Id say he cooked that to about 196-98. Needs to get to 200-203.

I like to pull my ribs at 196. Tender, but still hangs on the bone slightly.

Don't you just want to leave it on until after?

I thought it was best to keep the fat cap on top during cooking so it rendered a bit onto the meat.

Texas pulled pork?

I have always been skeptical of aaron franklin. Now I know this guy is an idiot. First off he is cooking it at 275 degrees and mentions bark. You can still get a good bark at 225 if you doing it right.

There should be a sonic surrounding ever road going out of texas cause they deserve a whipping for their inexcusable snootiness of BBQ. They know shite about it.

Oh really? You have a method where the meat spontaneously and automatically just breaks up into near bite-size pieces with the perfect distribution of the fatty bark and seasonings?


Dang near everyone east of the Mississippi and south of Kentucky who owns a danged Wal-Mart electric smoker does.

Like everyone else has tried to tell you, with real pulled pork the fat melts away during the cooking, the bone lifts right out, and the only tools required after that are a couple of big forks.

You want to leave some, but not that much. Gonna be really fatty if you leave it like he did.. and especially if only you cook it to the temp he did. If you cut off after... well there goes your nice bark from smoking it.

Bout a 1/2 inch is plenty.

Lol, I didnt catch that. I just fast forwarded to bone removal.

275 is way too high.

I usually do 230ish.
