September 13, 201016 yr Where would I find something like that, and what else do you need aside from the grill? You can get a small kettle grill like mine or the next size up (I think it's $60-$70) at Wal-Mart or Meijer. You would need a meat thermometer, which can be had for less than $5. And whatever your costs are for seasoning and charcoal.
September 14, 201016 yr I would love to start doing this....What would I be looking at as a cost for a smoker and the necessary equipment, and where can I find them at? I bought a Brinkman gas smoker at Home Depot for $149.00 and I love it.
September 15, 201016 yr Brinkman upright charcoal smoker is less than $100, a little more work than the electric but the prolonged exposure to the wood smoke is well worth it. Sam's Club has an interesting electric smoker for about $150.

September 16, 201016 yr I know what I am doing Sunday!!!!! Throw it in the pot Saturday night before you go to bed, pull it the next morning. When you get done pulling it throw the remaining rub on it and mix it in good. Be sure to let us know how you like it.

September 16, 201016 yr I realize you said pulled pork, but my “signature” pulled barbecue is actually pulled chicken. I started out making pulled pork barbecue, but then one of my good friends whose wife is Jewish asked if I could change to chicken in order to bring it to one of his family cookouts. I do still make pulled pork, but I more frequently have folks go on and on about my pulled chicken. The only major difference in the two recipe's is that I make pulled pork by smoking a pork loin or pork butt the night before and then I do most everything the same way as I do with the chicken. But anyway… Barbecue Sauce (make ahead of time): 3/4 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup dark molasses 3/4 cup apple cider vinegar 1/4 cup orange juice 4 tablespoons worcestershire sauce 1-1/2 teaspoons cumin 1-1/2 tablespoons paprika 1-1/2 tablespoons garlic powder 2-3 tablespoons red pepper flakes Salt & Pepper to taste Pour vinegar, orange juice and worchestershire into saucepan, bring to simmer over medium heat, then mix in brown sugar and molasses. Once everything has come to a even consistency, add in spices. Reduce heat and allow to simmer for 20 minutes. If desired, slowly mix in 4-5 tablespoons of corn starch before removing from heat to thicken sauce. Makes +/- 2 cups of sauce. Pulled Chicken: 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs 8-10 cloves garlic, crushed 1 medium onion, chopped 1 cup apple cider vinegar 1-2 tablespoons hot sauce 4-5 cups prepared barbecue sauce (depending on the consistency you like in your barbecue) Place chicken in medium sized cooking pot, and add cold water until it nearly covers chicken. Cook uncovered over medium/high heat until water is brought to a boil. Add in garlic, onion, vinegar, hot sauce, and barbecue sauce, and reduce heat to medium. Cook 15-20 minutes, and remove chicken from sauce. Leave the sauce over medium heat as you pull apart chicken with forks. Put your pulled chicken into a foil pan as you pull it, and once all chicken is prepared, pour sauce over pulled chicken and mix the two together. You can serve it then and there, refrigerate it for the next day, or freeze it for later. Serves 7-8.

October 18, 201015 yr I was at Meijer a few days ago and they had a smoker on sale for 15.99. I couldn't pass it up so I bought it a bag of charcoal and some apple wood chucks. I soaked the apple wood chunks overnight and fired up the smoker yesterday. I smoked two slabs of ribs and a pork tenderloin with some dry rub and a little apple juice in the water pan. It was the best meat I've ever cooked.

October 18, 201015 yr $15.99?? Holy geeze! On clearance or just on sale? I might have to run out that way and pick one up. On clearance, they had a bunch of them still as of the other day. It's certainly not top of the line and took longer than probably a higer end model would but it worked well for me and of course it was my first try.

Hmm...well I think I'll go check that out all the same. Were you at the Meijer in Cold Spring or Florence?
