I have
read a wide variety of recipes to make pulled pork, which is simple if you have
the right tools. For ingredients you need cracked black pepper, kosher salt,
canola oil, and a pork shoulder. The tools you need are a grill thermometer and
smoker (I use the Big Green Egg).
When I
smoke a pork shoulder I always use a wireless smoker thermometer because the
cook time is between 12 - 14 hours and I have no desire to spend my day or
night babysitting the smoker.
I have a wide variety of wireless grill
thermometers but the Probq.net Meat Thermometer for Grilling has
served me well for a reasonable price.
The
things I have found most useful in all smoker thermometers have been:
A
surface thermometer - this allows you to monitor the temperature of the smoker,
in my case the Big Green Egg.
A meat
thermometer - this monitors the temperature of your food
While
most smokers or grills have a thermometer to show the temperature that is
always of the temperature at the top of the smoker and not on the cooking
surface. While this may seem like overkill the difference in the temperature
can impact your cooking.
