I just finished seasoning a Pork Picnic Roast with a nice mix of Garlic, Onion and Cajun Seasoning. After placing this into a large bag I vaccuum sealed it then placed it in the fridge for the overnight.

Tomorrow morning I will be pulling this out and letting it sit at room temps as I warm the smoker and get the wood and water going. When the meat is at room temps it will be moved to the smoker where it will sit for most of the day.

The roast will start at room temp. which is roughly 80°F. For the first four hours it will be slow smoked at roughly 100°F. Then the temps will be increased, I will want the smoker temps up around 200°F for this. The meat will be cooked at this temp for several hours. (I will be adding water and wood chips as needed during the entire time. This way it slowly cooks and smokes in a very smokey steamy environment.)

AFter the roast has cooked with an internal temp. of 190°F for at least an hour I will pull it out and let it sit for roughly half an hour before shredding it with a couple of forks.

That's right I'm making Pulled Pork.

If you've never had it you have to try it. If you have had it you know why I'm working so hard to make this.

We had bbq beef tonight... I just use leftover roast. I do that when we have pork roast too. That, and pork stir fry. I have a monster, and I mean MONSTER pork roast in my freezer I need to cook. It's daunting. :eek:

Daunting only depends on what you want and what you have to cook it.

What kind of Pork Roast is it and what do you have to cook with?

A while back I had a Pork Shoulder that I needed to cook. All I had was my kitchen stove and my small gas grill. I thought about it for a bit and started working. It took me a couple of hours but I made a Charcoal grill out of some Cinderblocks, a piece of Chicken Wire Fencing and a Piece of Plywood.

I built myself a small pit using the Cinderblocks, with the Chicken Wire Fencing suspended between the top layers of blocks. I fired it with Charcoal and a couple of pieces of wet wood to add smoke. To keep the heat and smoke inside I laid the plywood over the top.

It was ugly and wouldn't work for too many cooking sessions but it worked for that one chunk of Pig.
