Here is an idea for you.
Buy a pork butt, cook at about 220 degrees until an internal temp of 195. This may take 10 hours. At this point you can wrap the butt in foil and place in a small cooler, stuff an old towel to fill the remaining room and let it sit for one hour to "rest". This is a form of a passive oven and the meat will fall apart. Use a nice rub to start and you will have some GREAT pulled pork.
If you don't have a digital thermometer-buy one. You are going to use it all the time. I like the taylor, it's cheap and it works good. There are digital wireless thermometers available that are nice but the corded serves the purpose. If I want to check the temp I walk to the smoker and check.
I have a Bradley smoker and I like it for making jerky because of the multiple racks but the taeger is NICE!
This is how I make pizza on the grill. I buy the pizza dough in a round carton, just like the buttermilk bisquits come in. The dough is kind of square shaped but who cares. You will need to have everything hot and ready to add as the crust is heated. We use BBQ sauce for this instead of pizza sauce. Heat the BBQ sauce, Heat the pulled pork, have your cheese ready to go.
Slightly spray both sides of the crust with olive oil spray, brown the crust on one side by moving it around as needed. When this side is done, flip over and add the BBQ sauce , pulled pork, and the cheese. Keep moving the crust until it is Brown. Removeand serve.
The cheese does not have to be completely melted.
If anyone wants to try this and you don't have pulled pork, use your imagination. You can cook pork another way, or use chicken or anything that goes well with BBQ sauce.
This is really a quick way to make a delicious pizza. The tip is to have the ingredients hot before you add it to the crust, because you are really only cooking the crust.
Let me know if anyone trys this. You will be the Gourmet Chef of the week in your house I can almost guarantee you!!!
Here is a tip for those without a smoker. Take some boneless chicken breast, cook in the oven until done and moist. Cut into small pieces, add a little BBQ sauce, Heat in the microwave and when hot , cover with foil to stay hot while you are heating your pizza crust on the grill. Have the BBQ sauce you are going to put on hot as well.
Try it you'll like it!!!
Make sure you use a BBQ sauce that you really like.
