Instructions



Preheat your Yoder Smokers YS640 to 250ºF. Before beginning to trim the pork butt, feel around the roast and trim any small bone fragments or hard cartilage that may be left on the surface. Remove all of the fat cap to expose the meat. Flip the butt over and trim any excess fat on the surface. Find the seam near the bone side. Begin to pull the crevice open and carefully cut in-between the two muscles. Trim the excess fat, connective tissue and anything that is not meat from the inside of the opening.

Inject the butt with Smoke on Wheels Pork Injection & Marinade inserting the needle every couple of inches in a grid pattern. After inserting the needle, move it around a bit to create a pocket and fill the pocket with injection until it begins to come back out.

Pat the surface of the roast mostly dry with paper towels. Shake on a generous layer of Plowboys BBQ Yardbird Rub on all surfaces, including inside the crevice where you trimmed the fat and tissue earlier. Allow the rub to soak in to the meat at least 10 minutes before transferring to the cooker.

Place the butt on the grate of the smoker. Smoke until it has achieved a nice mahogany color on the outside, about 4 hours, or roughly 155ºF internal temperature.

As the pork cooks, combine the slaw ingredients, mix well and store in the refrigerator.

Remove from the pit and place the roast on top of two sheets of foil, large enough to wrap the roast. Pour a few more tablespoons of your injection liquid on the meat and tightly double wrap in foil. Return to the cooker, increasing the cooking temperature to 300ºF.

Continue to cook the pork butt until the internal temperature reaches roughly 205ºF, about 2 more hours. When the shoulder blade bone can easily be pulled out of the roast, the meat should be cooked enough to pull. Open the foil package slightly, and allow the roast to rest 20-30 minutes. During this time you can toast your ciabatta buns. Pull the meat, either by hand or using claws.

Warm equal parts Blues Hog Original BBQ Sauce and Blues Hog Tennessee Red BBQ Sauce in a sauce pan. Pour the mixture over the pulled pork and toss to incorporate.

Assemble the sandwiches: pulled pork on the bottom bun topped with slaw and the top bun.

We hear that there is a thing called "Left over pulled pork". We didn't even know those words could be used together without the word "No" in front of it. Anyway if you have some of this delicacy around, we have a way to put it to good use.

Instructions



To make the pulled pork, first trim the Boston butt as desired. In an 8 quart Briner Brining Bucket, mix up 3/4 cup Kosmos Q Pork Soak with 2 quarts of water and two pints of beer. Submerge the pork in the brine and place in the refrigerator overnight.

After about 16 hours remove the pork from the brine, pat dry with paper towels and season generously with House of Q House BBQ Rub. Preheat your Yoder Smokers YS640 to 250ºF. You can also light an A-MAZE-N Tube Smoker to add more smoke flavor to the meat. Smoke the shoulder until the internal temperature passes 140ºF. Check the internal temperature with an instant read thermometer like the Maverick PT-100. Remove the pork from the cooker, double wrap the shoulder with foil. Return to the cooker and continue cooking until meat is tender enough to pull. The internal temperature will likely be around 210ºF. Shred the pork by hand or using Bear Paws Pork Pullers.

Whip the room temperature cream cheese and Kansas Flavor Jalapeño Jelly in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment on medium for about two minutes. Then, with a spatula, fold in the remaining ingredients. Continue folding until all ingredients are distributed evenly. Serve with crackers or tortilla chips.

Pulled Pork BBQ Smoked Beans Recipe



Yield: 12+ servings

Ingredients






[display_magento_products]

Instructions



Preheat your Yoder Smokers YS640 to 225ºF. Trim your pork butt. Inject with Smoke on Wheels Pork Marinade and Injection using a marinade injector such as the Broil King Stainless Steel Marinade Injector. Apply R Butts R Smokin’ Ozark Heat BBQ Rub to all surfaces.

Sauté the diced onions until translucent. In a half sized foil pan, combine the drained beans, Plowboys BBQ Bean Buddy Bean Starter, and sautéed onions.

Place the pork butt on the top rack of your smoker. Place the pan of beans directly below the pork, to catch the juices as the pork cooks. Smoke at 225ºF for about four hours. After four hours, remove the beans and set aside. Continue to cook the pork butt until desired color is achieved on the outside, about two hours longer. Then, wrap the pork butt in foil and return to the cooker, to finish the cook. The shoulder is done when the meat is pull-able, but not mushy.

Combine the beans with desired amount of pulled pork; probably about half, but it’s up to you and what you’d like the meat to bean ratio to be. Add some of the juice from the pork, as well. Also add about half a cup of Eat Barbecue IPO Barbecue Sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary.

This recipe was prepared on a Yoder Smokers YS640 Pellet Grill.


Tip: This dish reheats well, so it can be made ahead of time. A crock-pot is an ideal way to hold the beans at a warm temperature for serving.

How to Smoke Ribs on a Gas Grill

How to Smoke Ribs on a Gas Grill

Smoking ribs on a gas grill is a challenge, but we love a good challenge, so read on for our step by step guide.



Serving up ribs at a backyard barbecue during the summer is one of the true joys of being a pitmaster. Everyone loves ribs (even if they don't they sure do eat a lot of them when the platter is sitting out), and when they're cooked right they will bring the masses to their knees. One of the problems we run into from time to time is a customer that has a nice gas grill but no smoker and doesn't have the budget or want to spend the money to buy a standalone pit. If that's you, don't worry, we'll have you smoking up amazing ribs in no time flat.

What You'll Need

How to Smoke Ribs on a Gas Grill



How to Smoke Ribs on a Gas Grill

Step One: Insert the stainless smoker box under the grills grates on one side of the pit, setting it on the flame deflectors (sometimes called flavorizer bars) that cover the burners, fill it with wood chips, pour one cup of water on the chips and close the hinged lid of the box.

Do not soak the chips, the idea here is to keep the chips from catching fire, not to soak them until they smolder. We want to produce thin blue smoke, so they will need to burn up fairly quickly. Simply refill the wood chips as needed during the cook. What's most important is getting smoke into the ribs for the first two hours of the cook.

Close the lid on the smoker box and put the grate back in place (or leave it off to make refilling easy). Ignite the burner that your smoker box is resting on, put your rib rack in place, and close the lid of your grill. Do not ignite any other burners. We do not want direct heat under the ribs. The single burner that is burning the wood chips will provide the chamber with the perfect amount of heat to cook the ribs.

How to Smoke Ribs on a Gas Grill

Step Two: While the grill is heating up you will prep your ribs (we cooked three racks of baby backs for this cook) by trimming off any excess fat and pulling the papery membrane from the bone side of the ribs. Apply a small amount of yellow mustard to the ribs and rub with your favorite rib rub. We used three different rubs for this cook; Code 3 Spices 5-0 Rub, 3 Eyz BBQ Rub and Smokin' Guns BBQ Original Hot Rub.

Your grill will now be nice and hot. Take a little time and adjust the burner so that your grill is holding steady between 225ºF and 250ºF. Once you get the heat where you want it, place your ribs on your rib rack and close the grill lid. This is where it's good to have something else to do because your grill won't need much help maintaining heat or producing smoke. After an hour come back and check on the wood chips. If they need to be refilled, do so. Don't forget to pour some water over the top, we don't want them to catch fire and burn up too fast.

Step Three: After a couple hours, check on the ribs and make sure your smoker box still has wood chips. If you want more smoke flavor, you can refill the box now, but if you like a more mild smoke there is no need to worry about it. At this point in the cook, the rib meat should start to pull away from the bone. Test for tenderness by trying to move one of the bones toward the center of a rack. It will still be tough to move at this point, but after a couple more hours it will start to swivel in place and the rack of ribs will no longer feel springy.

This is a sign that the connective tissue in the meat has started to break down. Once the bone swivels freely and the meat around the bone stays in place your ribs are done. Pull them off and let them rest for a half hour before slicing them up. This will make slicing much easier as the juice in the ribs will redistribute back into the meat from the surface.

Step Four: Slice the ribs with a nice sharp knife. Having a Victorinox 12" Granton Edge Slicer will make this especially easy as the knife will move through the ribs like butter and the granton edge will release the meat without tearing your bark apart on each cut. Serve these ribs with your favorite barbecue sauce like Firebug Grill'n Sauce Hot. Enjoy!
