Fire & Ice Pulled Pork

[squirtthecat]

I found this bargain earlier in the week.

Heading into the single digits tonight, so let's bring some heat..

It's not as scary as it sounds, but it does pack a serious wallop.

Rubbed and ready to go.

Into the Traeger at 210°. Low and slow with this one..

7:30 AM peek..

IT is in the 160s, so we have a ways to go still. I bumped the temp to 250° and will check back in a couple hours.

Done!

And pulled.

PDG. You know when you bite into some of the bark. ZING. But not blow your head off hot.. It has a real good flavor, as long as you don't cake it on like batter. Mrs approves, so I have it in a bucket cooling down, and will vacuum pack it for our freezer tomorrow.

Looks great Squirt, haha, love the Habanero Death Dust name.

 

[TentHunter]

I bet I'd love the kick that gives, and WOW, $1.12/lb final cost makes that cook all the better!

 

[squirtthecat]

Yeah, that should have been 2.79/lb. The one next to it was 23 bucks! (which is almost criminal in itself) Somebody screwed up..

The HDD was pretty potent, but I love the flavor/color the Sriracha brought to the party. I'm going to use it as a glue more often.

hello i am new and i am wondering why you cool down pork but with ice and bucket or cooler,and what that does?

When you have latex gloves and eye protection in the picture that rub does sound scary to me!!

It does look amazing!!!

Great deal on the pork!
When I find a deal like that, I buy up a bunch, and freeze it.

I really like the idea of a little hot spice on the bark

I like the sound of that rub. A little spice is always good.

 

[Chili Head]

Death dust.. Sounds fun!
Squirt did ya find that locally?
That pulled pork would be awesome with some dirty rice mix

 

[sparky]

Man that butt looks good.

 

[SmokinSteiny]

I agree with you Squirt, Sriracha is awesome, great flavor and nice mild heat to it!!!! Would never of thought of using it as a glue though, that's some good thinking bro! You got a nice looking butt there! no homo! lol

 

[squirtthecat]

I see a lot of Sraracha butts in my future!

 

[Deb]

Cool Squirt, need to try the Siracha as glue

 

[SmokinSteiny]

Squirt, I was just thinking have you tried using Siracha on your Turkey Boulders??? That could make some really good deli meat!
