A shame. I use very little salt when I use rosemary. Does spouse like garlic
with pork?

This sounds nice.

What kind of grill do you have?

I'm thinking of getting one of these for Christmas:
http://www.bradleysmoker.com/digital-smoker-4-rack.asp or maybe the 6 rack.

Anyone have any experience with them?

I like to just put Baileys in a glass. Or a bathtub...any way possible
to get it in...I love that stuff.

Here's a favorite for pulled pork.

Pork Baste & Serving Sauce
(makes about 5 cups)

4 cups apple juice
1/4 C cider vinegar
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 C brown sugar
2 tablespoon dry mustard
3 bay leaf
6 cloves of garlic
2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

Heat all of the ingredients in a nonreactive pan. Bring it to a
boil, reduce and simmer for 15 min.

Sounds great! How did it turn out? I like the apple add. I'd also like
maybe real maple syrup. Just a little. Enough for the aroma.

That makes two of us, UGH! I've had sandwiches like that once or
twice and my first thought was WTF?? When they dump slaw on the bbq I
feel like they are trying to hide something or they have pretty sorry
barbeque and I won't notice the meat is not that great if it's drowned
in slaw.

Don't get me wrong, I like a really good slaw but not plopped on top
of my sandwich, please. Forks are for eating the slaw that is served
_on the side._

I have to agree. I picked up a bottle once and it was the best I've ever
tried. Was good on grilled chicken thighs.

Last 10 minutes I suggest spinning the dial on the oven to put a crust
on it. Very nice.

I tend to pepper it with caraway seeds and put sliced onion all over it.

It is really good. I tossed the apple bits with the fat. Leo was right, just
out of the oven is the deal. Most of the fat melted, and just as with
braising, there was a good dark meaty juice under the fat in the pan. When I
pulled the first pieces of succulent meat off of it and put them in a bowl,
I was magically pulled toward the Sweet Baby Ray's. It was great. I can
see sweetness, as in the bbq sauce, but I am not sure I would want to slow
cook it with sugar. Not sure why, lol! I'll make pork and noodles with a
smoky/gingery/hot and sweet sauce and sauted peppers and mushrooms and
cabbage tonight. But the perfect use for this is warmed in Sweet Baby Ray's
and plunked on a good roll with some lighly sauted plump onion rings! I
could see just mixing the hot meat with the sauce and keeping it in a glass
container in the fridge for microwaving for sandwiches. Wonderful stuff!

Tomato, lettuce, mayo, etc. are completely different. Generally slaw
has a very strong taste that overpowers the flavor of the pork. The 2
times I was served this concoction it was a vinegar based slaw which
overpowered the flavor of the pork. If you are going to go to the
trouble of properly smoking a butt, why ruin your efforts with a
strong flavored cabbage dish plopped on top of it?? Unless your bbq
efforts are just fair and you're wanting to hide the fact it's not
what you hoped it would be. The slaw is great, just not on top of the
meat, thank you very much. The sauce for reuben sandwiches enhances
it, not drown it in a strong vinegary taste.

I dearly love turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes,
green beans, sweet potatoes, and deviled eggs, but not piled one on
top of the other.

They make Baileys in all sorts of flavors! I do remember seeing caramel. I
haven't tried it, but I do like regular Baileys on occasion.

I made the iced coffee cocktail on the label that includes the vanilla
kahlua, vodka, coffee and ice. I added some half and half. Very good, but
rich! I love iced coffee any old way.

Do you love it in cold weather? I find iced coffee is like ice cream
for me. I won't give it the time of day unless the outside
temperature is 80+.

I do. I don't drink hot drinks all winter, and I think our winters in the
east are colder than yours. I drink iced water, iced coffee, iced drinks of
all kinds when it's cold. I even drink iced tea in the winter.
Unsweetened, no lemon. I'm starting to develop a taste for green tea.

Sorry to disappoint. I chose the easy way out... doctoring up bottled
sauce as per suggestion (nobody but me would have liked a real vinegar
sauce). It was the Safeway stuff, which must be tomato based, but it
has lots of molasses, heat and smoke flavoring. I thinned it with
vinegar and added a little honey... everyone liked it. I even saw
hubby dipping his sandwich into the bowl of dipping sauce (he doesn't
like things vinegary) so it was good! Yay!

I like regular iced tea too... strong hot tea over ice is best, but
lemon is a good perker for tea that's been sitting around.

I like it too. I never remember to buy it or order it after dinner,
but when someone serves it to me in their home I always like it.

Pulled pork ‹ a butt roast, low and slow.

It also makes the BEST mock Porchetta. I use this recipe:
http://labellecuisine.com/archives/p...%20Cafe%29.htm

I am thinking of making this soon after I get to the bay area, as it
makes a wonderful feast.

You know that what you call "iced tea" is just "tea" here, and if you want
hot tea you have to ask for hot tea. That is how hooked North Carolinians
are on their iced tea.

It's akin to mainlining a sundae, calorically. But yeah, man, good stuff.
The ONLY time I cheated while tending bar was to sneak a chilled "up
glass"--like a shot glass on a stem--of Baileys at the end of the night,
before I did the floors.

slaw on the sandwich is canonical in many areas, but i don't care for it
either. usually it's not even good slaw (having had it on the side many
times).

ideally, the pork should not be so dry as to need the extra lubrication.

That's good to know... do they drink it sugared? ugh if they do.

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

You can buy a box that will make literally hundreds of gallons for
under $10. You just have to be willing to use a tea strainer.

I love iced green tea.

the "crust" is generally referred to as BARK. It's akin to browning the meat
and had a tremendous amount of flavor. The bark is the reward for the chef.

Pulled pork is awesome and is more of a method than a recipe. ...and it is an inexpensive way to feed a large crowd. Start with your favorite dry rub, and cover the pork shoulder thoroughly. The next step is critical to make real pulled pork... get yourself a smoker. It has to be smoked. I use the Bradley smoker available at any outdoors sports outfitters, (Cabela's, etc.) for a couple hundred bucks. Smoke the pork shoulder for 3 hours at 250 to 275 degrees. Next, transfer it to a roasting pan with a small amount of water in the bottom, cover tightly with foil and then roast in the oven at 275 for 5 hours. ...between the smoking and slow roasting it gets cooked for a total of 8 hours - "low and slow." The finished product falls apart very easily. Serve on buns with your favorite barbecue sauce. I recommend making a carolina style barbecue sauce.

-Cheers

I like that idea but can't always apply it. For us, we use a large oval
crockpot (can fit a shoulder) with a little vinegar the first 6 hours, then
as the meat starts to want to fall off, drain (the juice may be usable for
gravy if not overly vinegared, if so, works for making other dishes such as
collards) and then uou can probably debone right away. Shred, add sauce,
cook another 2. 'Low and Slow'.
