|
|
Hello folks. Planning on doing a pulled pork on the weekend, with a special someone in mind who loves maple flavour. Never seen anything on the ring regarding that specific flavour, but if it can be done shoot me a way of preparing it as in the way of rub or sauce or whatever. Talk to yous and thank you. _________________ WSM 18.5"

italian skewer, check out this for maple cured bacon.
http://www.thesmokering.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=55821
You may be able to frankenstien something outta that.
I never tried it with pulled pork, but the bacon is great.
Maybe a marinade and a little for a finish sauce?
Good luck, don't forget pics.  |

| If you can afford it buy some maple sugar and liberally dust the pork with it after it has been pulled. Don't try to use the maple sugar in a butt rub, it will not work because of the long cooking time. It has been my experience that maple sugar carmelizes more quickly and at lower temps than other sugars. IMHO the maple flavor you are looking for will not be present in the bark if you use maple sugar in the rub. |

This was a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.....So no pics.........
If I remember, I tried pulled pork w/ a pork sirloin, which is hard enough to do by itself.........& it came out too dry
& the bottom got black from the syrup leaking out & burning....
On the other hand, i've done pork loin (higher heat) several times & it worked pretty OK.......Small tenderloins, same story.
I happen to like the combination of garlic & maple, so I'll use granulated garlic as a rub, or in the larger ones, garlic chunks punctured into the middle.......
I've done a lot of "outlandish" ( <~~there's that word again!) experiments over the years & some of them actually turn out......
Think New York steak dipped in caramel apple dip
I don't know if this will help, but I hope it at least gives you some starting points...... _________________ Have Fun Playin' with Yer Food !!!

| Perhaps you could add maple syrup to your bbq sauce in place of another sweet element |

I just picked up some maple sugar Easter weekend.
Have yet to use it. That's great info CliffC.

That's what I would choose to do, along with CliffC's advice
Keep us posted italian skewer.
Hope it works out.  _________________ "If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy."

I'm smoking one right now on my uds. I poured some Allegro over it first and then injected with Pepsi and put it in the fridge in a pan for an hour or so then drained and patted it off with towels then slathered mustard, a kansas city rub and a beer seasoning I found at Academy (yummy!) and garlic powder at the end (must have for me). It's smelling terrific so far. Smoking with briquettes and about 4 or 5 pecan chunks. First time making pulled pork in 2 years..
I once tried to use maple syrup as a slather on a brisket and it turned out good if you like strong, tree bark. It was edible but wouldn't try it again. Overuse of sugar and the wrong kind of sugars. _________________ Old Country model: flagstone - vertical offset

Cabela's has a Maple and Jalapeno flavored rub which I really like.......I think it tastes pretty good on pork.
May help if you've got the time to order, although I'm sure you could make your own if you have maple sugar. I don't think I would use the syrup as it would be too much sugar and would burn easy I'd think.
Good Luck!

Mr. Skewer ~~~> Dad's down for the count in the hospital,
all of the sudden piles of work at the print shop, lawn needs mowin', etc. etc. ........
My stress reliever is to inject a small butt w/ maple syrup & walnut oil & set it (not throw it)
on the cooker while gone to work for a few hours..... let you know how it goes..........Start time 5 AM.... _________________ Have Fun Playin' with Yer Food !!!

Mister Skewer said "pulled" in the 1st post so that's what the experiment is for...... Should be 20 / 30 min.
Little blastard is taking forever......
Thanks for the Canadian #1 light....just popped it open for this....Refrigerate, or not ?
I sent I.S. a pm but maybe he's already cooking his.....
Thanks about dad, but he's on the way out pretty soon  _________________ Have Fun Playin' with Yer Food !!!

bucks, everything looks amazing. I'm gonna do a follow up on this with you. I'm forced to cook these shoulders cause they're defrosted. I can't find what i'm looking for anywhere. Noone sells maple sugar for some reason. It's a "special item". Well excuse me. I'm pissed off cause i didn't get to do what i planned, but hey, at the same time, we got 2 shoulders going on. You know what i mean? I will prevail. No pig will ever get the better of me. _________________ WSM 18.5"
