FAQs from the video:
1) What temps did you cook at? We cooked at 225 F until the meat hit the stall 4 hours into the cook and was holding in the low 150s internal temp. We then cranked the heat up to 275 F for the remainder of the cook until the meat hit 203 F internal temp.
2) What is dry brining? We explained it pretty well in the video but to recap “dry brining” just means applying salt well in advance of the cook so that the salt has time to penetrate the meat. This can take a day or two for a big piece of meat like a pork butt. Once the salt is in the meat it grabs hold of juice in the meat and won’t let go. This means at the end of the cook you’ll have a much juicier and tasty meal.
3) Why not just put the rub on a day or two early? Rubs typically consist of salt and spices/herbs. Salt is a mineral composed primarily of sodium chloride (NaCl). Salt is essential for life in general, and because of that saltiness is one of the basic human tastes. As a mineral, salt actively goes into solution when it’s around water, and meat has a lot of water! Once it’s in solution it wants to spread out so it isn’t concentrated in any one spot. This is why salt goes deep into the meat. Spices/herbs, on the other hand, are large organic molecules. Garlic, Paprika, Pepper, Onion, Ground Rosemary, etc… are all spices/herbs. These don’t disappear into the meat’s liquid like salt does so they just sit on the surface of the meat. There’s no reason to add spices/rubs early like you would salt.

    Another great video. I think you're wrong on the water though... The stall is theoretically caused by vaporisation of water in the meat causing 2 problems- drier meat, and slower cooking. By maintaining a full water trough the interior of the kettle should remain more humid. This should reduce the vaporisation of water in the meat, keeping it more most and speeding up the cook. Same reason why you don't cool down on a humid day, the sweat doesn't evaporate, so the cooling doesn't occur. Expecting my theories took be shot down...😀

    Grant this is a good question. We have to remember the stall is a complex relationship between liquid in the meat, the humidity in the cooker, the rate of airflow, and the temperature you're cooking at. The more liquid in the meat the quicker the stall. The more humidity in the cooker the hotter the cooker has to get before the stall occurs. Higher airflow will cause meat to stall more quickly (at a lower internal temperature). The hotter the cooker the quicker the stall will be and at some point no stall will occur if you get hot enough. All of these variables work together to create a unique stall profile for every cook. In your example you suggest we add water to the trough. This will indeed help prevent the stall from occurring. That said, we'll need increased airflow now because we need more fuel to the fire to maintain temps. This is because the steam regulates temps by holding them down. So yes we have more humidity but we also have more airflow. They will not completely counter each other, though, and what you'll find is the stall occurs, it just does so at a later temperature in the cook. This is one of the reasons we made the reservoir last five hours. It dries up just in time for your big hunk of meat to start stalling, which dries up the pit and helps the stall burn through at an earlier internal meat temp and the stall should go a little more quickly. You could take your example to the extreme and use an electric smoker which is really humid and needs NO airflow whatsoever. The problem with that is you can't have fire without airflow, which means no smoke flavor. It also means the meat will never bark up because bark doesn't occur until you get through the stall. So basically the stall is something we need to deal with if we want great smoke flavor and nice bark. We've designed the Slow 'N Sear to make the most of the situation. =)

    Water will keep temps down as it also takes up a lot of energy to boil off and evaporate, so the kettle won't get as hot. So if you're wanting higher heat, you don't want water in the trough. Not sure if I'm being redundant, but that's the easiest way for me to explain it.

    I've made this 4-5 times now, by far the best pulled pork I've ever had. I always use a mix of 40/40/20% apple/cherry/pecan woods. No slow & sear.. I just pour water in my drip pan. FYI the rub recipe they posted makes a lot (2 1/2 cups total) .. enough for several cooks. Scale it way back if you don't need that much. I'd at least quarter the recipe if you only want to make 1-2 butts. Cook timing summary: Kick up temp to 275 for stall at around 4 hours. Wrap at about 175F (about 7.5 hrs). Continue cooking to 203F (another 1-2 hours). Pull. Rest 2 hours. Total cook time, about 9 hours + resting time = 11 hours. Resting time is adjustable, I usually just do 1 hour.

    The stall.. that is exactly what happened to me last night. Dang butt took forever on a Traeger. It was my first time. It didn't come out like. First, I started too late. I had to work the next day. I put it in at 1pm. At 9pm, the meat temp was stuck at 150ish. I took it off the grill and put in the frig. Next day, I cut it up and threw it in a crock pot. I fell apart, but lost some of it's smoke flavor..I have since learned a lot about my new Traeger and thanks to your video, the stall...Great idea with the beans too!

    Yeah the stall can mess with you for sure. If your cooking low - say at 225, it can be more drastic. One way to avoid the stall is wrap your pork butt when you start noticing the stall. Then bump up your temps (225 bump to 275) the foil or butchers paper wrap will protect the meat a bit and you will see your temps continue to climb again in no time. Hope that helps.

Lastly: Those beans were straight from the can?

    Another option; especially if you are using the pork in a sandwich application, would be to have a hot bowl on saucepan of sauce at the ready, along with a small ladle. Pulled pork doesn't necessarily have to be drowned in sauce; it makes a pretty good condiment as well.

    How do you get the smoke so clean? My experience of using hickory lumps and even apple chips have left my meat with an almost toxic flavour at the end. My Weber grill is new and I’ve only cooked on it five or six times - any idea what it could be?

    Oddly enough I never considered putting my temp probes through the vent at the top. I always popped them through the side, under the lid. Maybe that's (another) reason why I have always had a little bit of difficulty with temperature control. I'm considering trying some pork shoulder soon. Not sure about the oiling step but we'll see.

    Pork butt has a lot of connective tissue which creates nooks and crannies making it hard to get the injection into the meat. I would suggest you brine the roast(there are a lot of videos on this).Then using a paring knife cut small slits into the meat.Stuff diced garlic,jalapeno,onion,etc. into the slits and smoke as usual. Hope this helps.

    Cover it if you're worried about any bad fridge smells affecting the meat, otherwise you can leave it uncovered. This will dry it out a bit and help reduce the impact of the stall. We used three chunks of wood and did not add wood later in the cook. That's personal preference. Use less or more based on how much smoke flavor you're looking for!

    A few basic questions for you. Are you using a full chimney of charcoal? I know you start with 12 lit charcoals in the corner of the SNS and I can't tell from the video exactly how many you are using. I think you're using a full chimney (100 coals), but I'm detail oriented, so please bear with me. During the long cook, do you ever have to add more briquettes? If so, what's your best way of doing it? I did a dry run cooking one in the oven using your instructions and the results were awesome! Next time I will use my Weber! Thank you for all your help, you have helped me become a good BBQ'er and I want to get even better.

I went to sleep last night thinking about "hot and fast" Brisket along with Pork Shoulder and Ribs. I was thinking that getting any of these three up to 175 degrees using hot and fast, then wrapping and cooking until 203 degrees at lower temps might be almost as good as the "low and slow" method. I don't want to compete in contests, just eat great BBQ. After 5 hours of cooking, I'm hungry! What are your thoughts? Thank you for your help! P.S.

I've also watched Harry Soo's Hot and Fast video and they're (T-Roy and Harry) so experienced that they leave out minor details that novices like me want to know. Here's my last question and I promise I won't bug you anymore. Since I don't want to cook for 12 hours, do you think that hot and fast works for Pork Shoulder and Ribs too? Will they taste almost the same? I just want your professional opinion. Thank you again for your help. P.S. I can cook all the others (chicken, steak, wings, brats etc) real well. Pork Shoulder and Brisket on the grill are my last two mountains to conquer. I can cook them both in the oven no problem (basically set it and forget it) and they taste great, but the grill is more fun. Remember, the Adrenaline BBQ instructional videos were my teacher and they taught me well!

    Thanks for this. I am confused though because the recipe on your website seems to suggest the opposite: “Power through” - once the stall is confirmed, leave the meat unwrapped and raise the grill temperature to 275 - 300 F. Open the top and bottom kettle vents to deliver more air to the coals and generate more fire. Once the internal temp begins to rise again, lower pit temp back down to the 225 - 250 F range for the remainder of the cook.
