Fired up the ole el cheapo brinkmann for my first long cook. Smoker was fantastic and barely needed tending. This was my biggest concern since this is my third cook on it but it really was fantastic. Now onto the pulled pork.
I rubbed some yellow mustard on it and applied my rub and let it sit overnight. Put it on about 6:30am and it chugged along in the area of 210-230 most of the time on the lower end. about 1:30 it hit the stall for about 2 hours. Finally powered through but took a very long time to get up to 195 internal. Had to throw about a fistful of lump in the smoker that last hour or two which is not bad at all. Probably could have added it in the beginning and would have been fine but im still learning how this thing does on a long cook. it reached 195 between 6:30 and 7pm and then I let it rest until 8 when my wife got home from work. The results were very good but I was a little disappointed. I guess I was expecting crock pot tenderness with the bark and smoke flavor from the smoker. Some parts were very tender but other parts were a little dry. I can't tell if I'm just being overly critical of myself but I'll let the pics do the rest of the talking. Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated. Excuse the junky counter top, I was also watching my 2 month old while the ole lady was at work haha.
