Every One Loves Pulled Pork

At Just Grillin, we love smoky, tender pulled pork. But is it always as perfect as you want it? Perhaps not, but with these great tips, you'll be making pulled pork like the pros!

1. Keep it simple. Skip all the brines and marinades. Keep it simple with a good rub and smoking. The internal fat and collagen with keep the moisture in and keep the pulled pork nice and tender.

2. Trim off most of the fat but not all of it. You want to a keep a little of the fat on the exterior to hug the seasonings.

3. Season it well. Rinse and dry the meat. Cover all surfaces with oil, as this helps the rubs and seasoning adhere to the meat. Cover with your favorite rub and let sit for an hour. This allows the rubs to penetrate the meat fully. BUT don't let it sit too long or the rub with take the moisture out of the meat.

4. Always use a meat thermometer. This can be the difference between a nice juicy pork butt or a tough over or undercooked piece of pork.
