Meat Smokers
Early
summer days and the call of a meat smoker nudge
a young man’s fancy towards one thing – pulled
pork sandwiches. In my household dueling pulled pork sandwiches
really comes down to dueling sauces. It is the sauce and spice
rub that people swear by. I favor a sweeter smoky tomato based
Western style barbecue sauce whereas my wife and her family love
the vinegary North Carolina sauce. This sets up
another layer of mother-in-law dynamics that I had not anticipated
when I got married.
Word to the wise: You don’t dis a man and his dog and you
best embrace your mother-in-law’s favorite recipes.The nice thing is, it’s easy to accommodate any number of
sauces with this basic recipe and in fact, you can use several
sauces and quickly make individual sandwiches to meet everyone’s
tastes in sauces.We started up the Sub Rosa smoker
in mid-February this year with the spate of unseasonably warm
weather we had. Spring Chinook season
is but a distant memory now and we’ve smoked our summer stash
of salmon, but there is an 8 pound pork shoulder next in line to
be wood smoked.
