    Pork is on! What a beautiful start to the day!! It’s perfect here in south central PA. Hope you all are having a similar start. Very appreciative of all those that serve/served and especially those that gave the ultimate sacrifice for this great country. :usa: Without you all, this would not be possible.


    Mustard binder on the left, mayonnaise on the right. Started with a base of hardwood briquettes and topped with two splits of cherry.

    Lol! I need new grates so I cover them with foil for now.
    Peek-a-boo! Added some taters.

    Pat of butter, brown sugar and apple juice concentrate goes in there at this point.

    That does look good... So at 150 it went into foil with brown sugar to what temperature before going into the slow cooker?

    @ that point they went in a 250 degree oven for about 1.5-2 hours. The one wasn’t as tender so we ate the other (which was exactly 160 degrees when I pulled it). I put the tough one in the oven for another hour and when I checked it, ended up 170. It’s leftovers. :drool:

    We ended up making smashed smoked potatoes. They were great. I just finished up the last of all the leftovers for lunch. :drool:

    Justin Case anyone wondered, most all the excess brown sugar after unwrapping gets scraped off. Then the juices get put in the storage container with the meat for moisture.

    I figured it would be like a mopping sauce of some kind. Man my taste buds are in AGONY. When you make it at lunch at work, does the room get bombed with that yummy smoky smell?

    Lol, yes! I did that today but I’m a one man operation. My son did it where he works and they all gave him heck the other day. He had to tell me about it. :rofl: :lol:
