    I was on the verge of buying a Traeger until I started watching your videos while investigating different BBQs. In the end I bought a Kamado and I wanted to say thanks. Your videos have given me the confidence I can cook anything with this BBQ and today I'm doing my first pulled pork. Very excited. If you're ever in Australia you'll have to come over for a barbie. Thanks again for the videos.

      Hi, Jim . . . I had the same experience. Was on the fence for a Traeger, ready to invest, but after watching a couple of James' videos I made my decision. Been happy with my KJ Classic 3 ever since. It does everything and I love trying all of the new recipes and employing the tips that Smoking Dad provides. He's understandably gotten a bit commercial lately, but more power to him :)

    Gotta tell you, I made your sauce for my pulled pork this week At first when I tasted it in the pan I thought, "no way, this is too vinegar-y", but then I decided to go with it since I'd already made a double batch. WOW! I LOVE it! You don't even taste the strong vinegar at all and it's really an easy and AMAZING sauce! My sister and her husband loved it too. Now it's my go-to sauce. Thank you for sharing it with us!

Things like putting the grates in up to the notches, the time it takes for the fire to build, etc. They may seem small, but to those of us who do not use our Kamados as much as you, every little detail helps. Keep up the good work!

I was having trouble with the temps and getting them low enough for a couple of cooks (followed your spatchcock chicken videos :) ) and watching this video has really given me some great tips to try with my next cook. Am hoping to build enough skill this week to cook pulled pork for Xmas! Thanks so much for these great videos.

    I’ve eaten a lot of pulled pork.
    This quite possibly is the BEST PULLED PORK I HAVE EVER EATEN!! Recipe is super simple, did not require a lot of ingredients and came out awesome. We did use the Big Green Egg and the Kamando charcoal and did not have to add any for an 8 hour cook. Will definitely be cooking this again and again.

  • @JRoss707
    @JRoss707 Год назад

    I’ve been cooking on Kamados for many years yet still love to learn new things. I tried your technique for pork shoulder today, using the “sweater” foiling technique. It was possibly one if the best pulled porks I’ve done. Average temps were 260-285 on the MEATER, I put it into the foil sweater at around 185, it went for about another hour or more at 300+. It was so moist and pulled with ease. I was surprised it too over 8 hours, full foils generally are done at around 6 hours but thus was a huge roast, nearly 12 lbs, so I’m glad I started it plenty early.

    Followed your method for pull pork and vinegar sauce. Both were a hit with the crowd validated by people going for seconds and thirds. Absolutely delicious! Thanks for putting this and other videos together. Only one thing with me was that I ran out of time and needed to crank up temps to 330 for the last hour and I went with a full foil wrap instead of a boat (6h total in the Big Joe). May be I had a larger piece than yours (4kg) and probably needed to start 1-1.5h earlier.
    As I FTCed the pork, I quickly followed up with two spatchcock chickens with Alabama sauce made a bit earlier and these came our perfectly as well in just 40min (did dry brine for both port and chicken).
    Tried now picanha, pork ribs, beef short ribs, chicken wings in the basket, pulled pork and chicken, all using your videos. Everything came out great and reconfirmed to me that my choice of buying Big Joe was a right one.

    Great job putting these videos together!!! Couple questions for you…(1) how many mins/hrs per pound do you plan for your cook on this? (2) at one point in the past you recommended removing the ash tray and metal slide from the bottom of the KJ, do you still have the metal piece removed and just using the ashtray for the extra wood chips/smoke or did you decide to leave it all in with the new KJ3? Thanks again for the great videos!

    • @BrewReview
      @BrewReview 2 года назад +2

      I’ve found it’s about 60-70min per pound give or take at 250f, fully unwrapped the entire time. Don’t forget to add an hour for the grill to come up to temp, add another hour for rest time (at least) and yet another hour for prep to ensure you’re ready to serve when you want.

    Followed step by step and got nearly perfect results, thank you for the education!. One q - i had a hard time getting through the stall before the foil boat- my combustion probe said the surface of the pork was around 175 but the core just wouldnt get past 160 - i just let it go till i got to 170 at the core, but that added nearly 2hrs to my cook time so i fully wrapped for the remaining cook instead of the boat and ended up with an 8hr cook / 1hr rest / 9lb pork butt. The dome thermometer was at 270-280 the entire first half of the cook, and 330 after i wrapped it, so I didnt expect it to take that long - any thoughts?

    Another banger, James, I dig the method and will try it this weekend. Question... I understand the need to let meat rest before cutting into it, like with a steak or burger, but with pulled pork the meat will be shredded into a container. Wouldn't all the meat juices eventually be mixed in, rather it rests or not?

    Love your videos. One of your earlier videos on direct low and slow advised starting with deflectors in bottom position partially open like a pizza slice to pre-warm the Kamado. You’re tip solved a problem I could never figure out. How would you apply this same principle to double indirect (I’m using pizza stone with deflectors)? Thanks for all the great videos!

    Thanks for making the Kamado Joe more approachable! Your examples and guidance helped me in my decision to get a Kamado Joe Classic III. I followed this video for my second cook. Turned out fantastic!
    I did run out of fuel in the second phase of the cook. Probably too little lump charcoal at the outset, unless the charcoal banking or placement was off??
    Noticed the ambient temp per the Meater probe was about 10-15° higher than the KJc3 dome thermometer, which stayed consistent at 270° in phase 1. Probe placed vertical in thickest area. I assume following the dome thermometer is the way to go??
    Rested in my oven at 170° for 9 hours to serve at lunch. This worked well. Any recommendations on preparing for a delayed serving like this?

      anything on the way down is fine, so then it depends how long you are going to hold. a 4hr or longer rest i would wrap and rest 195-200.... a 2hr rest its ok to wait a little longer

  • @jeremyjacobs8412
    @jeremyjacobs8412 11 месяцев назад

    I'm new to cooking on a kamado grill, so was very excited to try your approach to doing pulled pork. I wish I could say I'd had as positive an experience as everyone else seems to have had. First, I could never get the wood chip hack to work. The only thing in my ash drawer is fine, well, ash. No charcoal, nothing burning at all, so adding a few chips just meant the chips sat there, unaltered by the end of the cook. Otherwise the cook went perfectly until it was time to make the foil boat and crank up the heat -- I opened the vent and the heat rose to 300, and froze there, even with the control vent open fully. I even removed the pork and grates so I could take the pizza stone out of the set up (I don't have a Slo-Roller") and that made no difference. 300 was all it was going to do, no matter what I did or how long I waited. On my old Weber WSM, I would have just opened the firebox and shoved in a chimney of hot coals to raise the temp, and/or used a bellows to stoke the flame, but the inaccessible firebox of the Kamado Joe had me baffled. Faced with the likelihood of dinner at 9:30 pm instead of 6:30, I fired up my gas grill to 350 on indirect and transferred the pork there, so it could finish and we could eat. If anyone can suggest what I might have done wrong that caused the grill temp to act like that, or what I might have done differently to get the temp up, I'd be glad for the help. All of that said, the pork had great color and flavor, and I really liked the North Carolina-style BBQ sauce.

    What timing! I was already planning pulled pork this weekend. Quick question about double indirect. I have an Akorn and don’t have the slo roller. The theory is two levels with air flow between right? My thought is to try my heat deflector with my thin cast iron on some cooking rings or stripped cans to provide that space between. Does this make sense?

    I tried this recipe recently and it came out wonderful, despite a couple of mistakes along the way. One thing that happened was my Kamado jo didn't burn up the smaller wood chips that I was adding to the slide out ash drawer on the bottom. Is that because I don't have a slow roller, or is it just the model that I have? It's the classic Joe Series 2

  • @roberie22
    @roberie22 Год назад

    I did this cook. Used the deflectors and as pizza stone as I do not have a sloroller. Loaded up the basket about 2/3 ways with coal slanted towards the back, no wood since wife does not like smoked meat. It took the shoulder 7.5 hours to reach the 170 degrees F. The classic joe II was at a consistent 270 degrees the whole cook. I also had to add coal to ash drawer since I could not get to 330-350 degrees. Total cook time was 10.25 hours. The pulled pork turn out tender and delicious. Any ideas why it took so long? Should I have added more coal since I did not use wood? I am new to smoking and this style of BBQ. Fantastic videos, thank you.

    Hi James. Loved the video and trying to do this tomorrow. I have a Big Joe Series 2.0 with a Sloe Roller. Problem is that I don’t think I have the same Divide and Conquer system. The ring I got really doesn’t have a double divide and conquer levels. My original divide and conquer does but doesn’t have the same depth as the ring that came with the Sloe Roller. Any suggestions for doing a double divide and conquer on a Series 2 Big Joe?
