Porky McPork......

This small batch of "Pulled Pork" is made from five small boneless pork ribs from a local market. The "Real" way to this shredded pork wonder-meal involves a larger piece of shoulder pork that has a higher fat and moisture content. It would be cooked in a Slow Cooker (maybe an Insta-Pot? ....anybody??) or Low and Slow on a smoking device. These are fine, in my opinion, if one is having people over to share or some other event where you want a quantity of pulled pork.
This smaller batch is rubbed and modified to give fat, flavor, and moisture added with a bit of apple juice (And, yes! a splash of Bachan's Japanese BBQ sauce!!) and bacon for fat content as it was smoked for four and a half hours, then wrapped and sat in the smoker (w/o smoke) for five additional hrs at 200deg..... Perfect for the Wife and me for at least two meals!! ....Whooohoo!!

Pulled pork is one of the great pleasures in life and this looks great. We never seem to have need for a small batch!

Yeah, I rarely will tackle a pulled pork! Usually, it's a request from fam if done! These pork pieces are nice and small and produce enough meat for several days for my wife and me - the perfect amount.
Thank you, quixdraw!!

Thank you, sumo!!

Thank you so much, JustJill!!Jul 29, 2021 22:07:31 #
You had me from the first shot with the bacon wrapped around the pork. Many people go for the ribs first but pulled pork has always been at the top of my list and yours looks and sounds delicious. Preparation and presentation rule and you nailed them both.

Looks scrumptious!
Nice photos, too.
Love pulled pork - in fact we are smoking an 8-lb pork shoulder as I type. Should be done by early evening - although my electric smoker is not getting up to temp, may be time for a new one.
