I DRY AGED a Pork Shoulder for 35 DAYS (the key to the best pulled pork)

Pulled pork is one of the most forgiving cuts in barbecue. The shoulder is filled with collagen and fat, which ensures the end result is almost always tender and juicy. But that doesn’t mean we can’t make it even MORE juicy and even MORE tender. In this video we test 3 unique methods, the results surprised even me!

    Dude... you've got to do a combo now. Find the ultimate pulled pork. Dry age the cut & then dry brine it before sticking it in the smoke. Maybe you'll pull out the best of both preperations.

    @A Z the cook is not based on time. Mostly based on color of bark and internal temp. Wrap anywhere between 165-185F internal once bark is where you like it. Can’t go wrong pulling anywhere in that range. Wrap then pull once it’s tender, usually 205F internal. You know it’s tender when thermometer slides through like butter. For reference should come out to 60-90 min per pound

    Each wood has a different flavor. Fruit tree woods generally are sweeter and more mild. Perfect for pork & foul. Something like mesquite is very strong and bold. Imo, tbe best for beef. Nut tree woods are kind of between the extremes. A good, general, all-purpose wood, however, is oak. Nice & smokey without being overwhelming. Great for all meat. I personally like using something like apple with a little oak mixed in. Sweet but also a more pronounced smokiness.

    I raise my own pigs, and I've used a different brine on my pork. Per cup of water, I add a heaping tablespoon of salt and a heaping tablespoon of sugar. Brining is 2 days per inch at the thickest part. To cook, I use a roaster with apple juice and teriyaki sauce in it at 200f for 10-14 hours. To cook at that low heat, the brine is necessary to keep the meat safe. Sometimes I'll cold smoke it first before putting it in the oven.

    I'm no cook expert right, but I was thinking that you should wet brine a pork shoulder and then dry brine it for 24 hours and then smoke it low and slow, but pour the juices back onto it if there's any lingering in the container, not from the wet brine container but the dry brine, and continue spritzing it with apple juice like normal so that the bark doesn't dry out and take it out when you think it's ready and see if you get the best of both the dry brining and wet brining methods on pulled pork after it is cooked completely. I think it should be juicy with also the same or a little more punch of flavor than what was given to you with the dry brined pork shoulder.
