After Reading through this thread multiple times I just have one thing to say:


Richard, marry me.

Gotta love a man who can cook.

Isis and Bull say, "As long as you're house trained, the more the merrier."

Dustin was a bit more grumbly about it.

Spicy = great!

When I bbq I try to make two or three different types of meat. It keeps me from lighting up the BBQ-charcoal-and I can have BBQ all week.

I made hamburgers, hotdogs and cooked a pork shoulder. the price for one is really cheap- anywhere from 1.18 - 1.38 a pound, with the bone inside! A deal because you can get two meals out of it.

A five pound shoulder will get you pork/carnitas tacos and a BBQ sandwiches..

I take the shoulder, cut it down, rub with salt and pepper, wrap in heacy foil and toss on a BBQ. away from the direct heat for about 3 hours.

For the pork tacos?
Take about a lb and a half of your bbqed meat. Hand shred it, set aside.

HEat a skillet and add about 2 tablespoons of lard into the bottom, add your meat. During the heating half a lemon and remove the seeds. Squeeze one half into the meet and add the lemon, rind and all to the pan, squeeze the other half in - you can add both halves of the lemon, i like mine with both. As the lemon heats up it will get soft-it will produce more of the lemon flavor if you smash it down as you go.

Your 'carnitas' will start to get browned and the smaller pieces will get crunchy. It's all a matter of taste-

Heat up corn tortillas, toss some meat on and add refried beans, lettuce, tomato, guacamole, monterey jack and anything else you can think of!

Easy BBQ pork sandwiches?


I took the rest of the pork meat I grilled-about 2 lbs- tossed it into a pan with 1/4 cup of bbq sauce, 1/4 cup of ketchup, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and a tablespoon of vinegar.

I them reheated it for 1.5 hours, took a potatoe smasher and 'shredded' the meat that way.
Serve on warm buns with???

Thought of this thread today.. Made pulled pork for sandwiches. Used a 4.79 lb pork butt, ketchup, bbq sauce, worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, pepper, garlic salt, etc.. I let it cook from 9ish this morning until 4:30ish. Was really tasty. Had to take out a lot of fat.. so next time I'll probably try a better cut of meat. Any suggestions? I saw some people use pork loin.

Made bbq beef last week with a eye of round roast. Was nice and lean. But my picky SO prefers pulled pork. Either way.. it beats the pulled pork/beef out of the tubs (Lloyds or Curly's) from the store!

Made some potato salad to go along with it. 6 red potatoes, 2 hard boiled eggs, mayo, dijon mustard, bacon, paprika, sugar, pepper and garlic salt. Was really good. I love a potato salad that I dont have to pick the raw onions out of. =)

How did you cook it and at what temp?
Please?


Loin is a little higher priced that a shoulder-Try a pork shoulder! It's leaner but you have to be really careful regarding the way that you have it cut. I like mine with the bone in for oven cooking and bone out for BBQ. I you want to take the time and do a little knife work before hand, a shoulder is nuclear!


Tonight I took the left over shoulder meat that I cooked yesterday, sliced thin into a skillet with the left over bellpepper, onion and zucchini added soy sauce and served it over rice. It was good!
