Fresh wild hog smoke session

[Kevin]

Shot a pig this weekend and already have a ham smoking. I am going to pull it and bring it for lunch to the office tomorrow. I know "shoulder" is better for pulling but this works for me.

Can't wait for a sandwich!






6 hrs in...

That's about the only way I will eat wild hog. My son smokes a couple every year for me. A little Sweet Baby Ray's and...............

Well guys... I might have screwed up! I decided to foil it to try and keep it moist but at about 185F I decided to remove the foil so that the bark would firm up before it hit 195. Being the smoking newb that I am, I didnt realize that removing the foil would drop the meat temp from 185 all the way down to 173 over the next hour. SO... I foiled it back up and I am hoping I didnt just ruin it.

After doing some reading, apparently evaporative cooking kicks in hard when you remove the foil and I should have waited until it hit at least 195 before removing it.

Ugh!

It is looking pretty tasty though!

man be sure to tell us how it finally turns out. looks good, getting the late night munchies just looking at it.

Just hit 196 and pulled it off and put in a cooler wrapped in a towel. Giving it 1.5 hrs to rest then pulling. Didn't time this well either lol. Zzzzz I'm sure my wife is happy with alarms going off in the middle of the night.

Nice... I know what you mean about the alarms though. Lol
My ex made me sleep on the couch if I was doing an overnight smoke.
