Pulled
Pork BBQ
Tips:
start the charcoal on once side of the grill and once it's hot we
place the shoulders on the opposite side so they cook indirectly.
We don't spread the coals as they will heat longer in the pile. And
do add some hickory chips that you have soaked in water overnight,
it does make the difference! Once the heat starts to subside,
about 3 to 4 hours. We remove the shoulders and restart a fire on
the opposite side, so we don't have to clean up until the grill until
the next day. Just place the shoulders back on the grill on the opposite
side of the fire. It takes about 7 to 8 hours to cook them until they
fall off the bone. We usually find shoulders here in the south on
sale for 87 cents a pound...a good deal on meat!
Here's how to prepare the shoulder. We rub the shoulders with the
dry rub mix and wrap them in heavy aluminum foil twice. We place them
on a cookie sheet and put them on the grill that way. That makes them
easier to handle. Once the cooking is done, we remove the foil
and pull the Pork away from the bone, hence the name Pulled Pork.
Serve with slaw and pig sauce.
We
personally love Pappaw's pig sauce to sprinkle on top of the pulled
pork BBQ. I looked to see if it was online...it was:

It's the same price online as what we pay locally for it. All of our
local grocery stores carry it, yours may not however. It's 1.4
carbs per tbsp.

Sherrie's Coleslaw
(make the day ahead)
slaw:
35 carbs total 6 servings @ 5.8 carbs per serving
1 large cabbage head shredded thinly, about 6 cups (13.14 carbs minus
fiber)
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise (8.91 carbs)
1/2 cup of fresh lemon juice (6.91 carbs)
1/4 cup Splenda (6 carbs)
Mix the wet ingredients and pour over shredded cabbage. Mix well,
and place in the refrigerator for one hour. Mix the slaw again making
sure its all coated. The cabbage will be starting to wilt. I have
a Tupperware bowl I prepare mine in, and I just take it our a few
times and shake it a few times. Slaw is best when it sits overnight,
so make the day ahead!
Enjoy!
