Am I missing the luster of an expensive dinner? Went to a steakhouse in northern Atlanta on Friday. A ton of money spent. The steak was good but what is draw?
McKendricksWhere'd you go? I love a steakhouse dinner but could see your disappointment as it's mostly just a really expensive steak.
Take the same money to one of our 5 new shiny Michelin Starred restaurants next time and I bet you'd have a different take on the "expensive dinner."
You wrapping before tapping?I've got a 10.2lb pork shoulder which has been sitting at 168° for 2.5 hours. The stall is real
If it had stayed at 168° for much longer I was going to wrap it, but the BBQ gods decided to let the temperature start climbing again within 5 minutes of my comment hah.You wrapping before tapping?
Meat drives the cook, amarite?I've got a 10.2lb pork shoulder which has been sitting at 168° for 2.5 hours. The stall is real
Have you noticed a difference in letting it rest for a few hours? I usually just let mine rest for 30 minutesIf it had stayed at 168° for much longer I was going to wrap it, but the BBQ gods decided to let the temperature start climbing again within 5 minutes of my comment hah.
Once it hits 203° I'll wrap it and put it in a cooler for a few hours
One time I had to bring the pork somewhere so I wrapped it up, put it in a cooler with some towels and we didn't take it out for a couple of hours. Might be my imagination, but that was probably the best shoulder I've ever done. No idea if the 2 hours had anything to do with it, or if the cut of meat was better, or something else.Have you noticed a difference in letting it rest for a few hours?

It continues to cook a bit longer and becomes even more tenderHave you noticed a difference in letting it rest for a few hours? I usually just let mine rest for 30 minutes
Honestly I've always ended up doing at least a 3-4 hour rest every time, because I'm always making it for an event, and always try and start it early enough to give myself plenty of time to work with in case something doesn't go according to plan.Have you noticed a difference in letting it rest for a few hours?

So I don't know how it would compare to a 30 minute rest.
Also, definitely happy with the bark on this one!
