 Pork Butt and Chicken Drumsticks and Thighs 9/5/2022



This Pit barrel Cooker is a pulled pork cooking machine.  Just set it and forget it.  This was an 8 pounder.  It went on the Pit at 7am fat side down seasoned with Arthur Bryant's BBQ Rub.  I didn't 0pen the Pit till 1130am when I added the chicken for our lunch.  The Pork Butt had a temperature just north of 170. 


This is what it looked like about 4.5 hours in


Bobs Seasoned Chicken Drumsticks and Thighs both bone in join the party.

After 35 minutes or so Lunch is ready the chicken was wonderful.  I ate the Drum sticks the wife ate the thighs.



At 2pm I looked at the pork butt. I knew it was ready.  Look at the pull back from the bone.  Look at the gorgeous bark.   I put the thermapen in just to be sure.  It went in butter soft in multiple places another great sign.  It was reading north of 200 everywhere I probed.  It was ready for sure.


When I took it off the grill to wrap it in foil it broke in 3 places (another sign it was ready). I let it rest for 2 hours or so in a cooler wrapped in foil then towels  before being pulled.

 Pork Tenderloin, Pears and Pineapple (10/4/2020) I hung the tenderloin For this cook I added a chimney of Royal Oak all natural briquettes to the partially burned charcoal in the basket. I started the cook early because I thought I had 2 Thick Pork tenderloins  It turns out there was 4 of them.   I coated them with olive oil and rubbed them down with Central BBQ Rib Rub I skewered the Pears whole and hung them also I also had some skewered pineapple. The Fruit hung for about 30 minutes, the pork 45 minutes or so. Lunch is served.  That is Alabama White BBQ Sauce on the Pork Tenderloin. Some notes about the cook.  I cooked the Tenderloins to an Internal temperature of between 140 and 150.  I let them rest tented in foil for about a half an hour

Pork Sirloin Tip Roast (9/27/2020)

Pork Sirloin Tip Roast (9/27/2020) This came out amazing in my Humble opinion.  It is a fairly simple recipe.  For the most part if it includes more then 4 ingrediants, I am in Trouble.  The Recipe is after the phot shoot. Its a double hook hang.  We also have pineapple on skewers and Roasted potatoes in a basket. Roasted potatoes and pineapple. The roast is done. Recipe:  I more or less followed the recipe on the Pit Barrel Cooker blog  Pork Loin Recipe . The biggest difference is I used the Central BBQ Rib Rub.  I loved how they turned out on my ribs so I thought I would try it on this roast. Here is how I did it. Pork Loin Roast 2,5 lb Sirloin Tip Roast ( I have also used a tenderloin and Center Cut Loin Roast) Extra virgin olive oil Central BBQ Rib Rub I placed a light coating of olive oil on the Pork Sirloin Tip roast.  I used the BBQ Rib Rub liberally.  (I really like the way the bark setup with this ...
