Thanks for the reply and insight. I’m hoping to throw one or two of the pork butts on my Orion this weekend. Since this’ll be the first go at it, I really appreciate your videos and advice. ‘Merica!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
All of a sudden I craving for a Pulled Pork sandwich with Coleslaw lol 😆. Thanks for sharing my brother do have a great Sunday and upcoming week. Cheers!
I've had an Orion for a couple of years. I call it my cheater smoker. I use it when I'm putting on a big feed, but don't have the time to do it right. I've done pulled pork butts, pulled beef chuck roasts, whole turkeys, but mostly ribs. It is made for ribs! It's the perfect cooker for ribs at the family reunion (or hunting camp) Six racks done tender in an hour and a half. Only a true rib snob would know the difference between Orion ribs and slooow smoked. It cooks too fast to get a deep smoke ring, but the flavor and tenderness is there. Prep the racks and cooker, load it, light the fire, have a few beers. Tender, pull off the bone, smokey ribs 90 minutes later. So easy that it feels like cheating. My only complaint about the Orion is that it is not efficient. Every cook burns a bag of coals, so I only use it for max capacity cooks with hungry people waiting. And if it's windy, you will need to fashion a wind screen or you will use even more.
The book tells you to put the meat on the bottom rack. I put a thermometer in thru one of the holes (remove screw) . I have a difficult time getting it up to 200 degrees. How much charcoal do you use? I haven’t tried two butts. It seems to stall at 180 or below
I guess I didn’t get the book but by trial and error I found out that that if I use the top rack with the water pan partially full I get better temp control. I generally start the fire with a full chimney of briquettes and use splits after that. Thanks for checking it out !
@@CuffNStuffBBQ I have smoked many pork butts on my Orion and have much better luck adding charcoal a couple times during a 5-6 hour cook. Without adding some of the butt will be hard to pull.
Some how my big green egg went out last night. This morning I am doing it on the Orion for a 16lbs of pork butt speed run. Not sure why I didn't just put it on the Orion to begin with!
I just got this at ace hardware new, on sale for 25 dollars…but, I an not sure which on it is, it doesn’t say original, large or small on the box….mine assembled. Is 34 inches tall from floor to top of charcoal burner on top of lid…very close to 34 inches tall in total…is that the original? The reason for the low price was the box got minor water damage on it in storage,,,was very minimal…was unopened and new inside to include all paperwork…can’t wait to try it out. Just wanted to know which size I got…
Thanks…seemed like a great deal, so got it…I have a nice heave gauge wood smoker already, a Webber grill I love, a huge island gas grill and stove top. Kind of have more than I need already but, I thought this was so cheap… I collect tons of old cast iron too…cook a lot outside…wife is getting ribs right now for a test run.
I noticed you said you don’t own a pellet smoker, you should get one! I have two, a Yoder 640 competition and a Camp Chef 36 WiFi. They are excellent especially the Yoder,it is so versatile.
Also add a cup of apple cider vinegar deluted in bottom of pan
Pulled pork is definitely hard to beat !
Wow, absolutely delicious! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you I really appreciate it !!!
Thanks for sharing this, everything looks perfect. Stay connected!
Thanks for checking it out !
You have to try r butts r cookn cherry habinaro seasoning for your pulled pork. Put it on thick. You will love it. Also inject with cherry dr pepper
Thanks Mark sounds interesting. Might have to try that.
Great video!! Did you inject these with cherry dr. Pepper like your other video?
No my friend I found out the hard way that adding all that sugar in the sealed Orion can burn and add a bitter flavor.

@@goblue2708 great let me know how it turns out for you !
I am surprised this is not an electric method of cooking since the charcoal does not impart any flavor to the meat
Thomas put a few chunks of your favorite wood on the charcoal you’ll have the just right smoke flavor of your choice !
Hi Jimmy, i have an Orion Cooker and used it once, but you Pulled Pork video might of just got me interested in it again! Stay Safe 👍🇬🇧
Thanks Dutchy try using the pellets it made a big change !
@@CuffNStuffBBQ How high a temperature did u get in this Orion cooker making this pulled pork?
@@SS-pi2yi the Orion averages between 300 and 325 in the chamber. It depends on the amount of charcoal you use.
@@CuffNStuffBBQ Does it happen to have a built in chamber thermostat?
@@SS-pi2yi nope have to insert a remote thermometer

I absolutely love that cooker

Thanks for stopping by Nathan I agree most of my Orion cooks are pork butts for pulled pork. I have done 3 at a time. It sure will feed a crowd !
Man that's a cool little cooker thanks for sharing
Thanks man and fairly inexpensive too !
Everything looked perfect. I especially loved the Smoke Bomb at the end. Awesome!
Uncle Steve’s shake makes the difference !!!
Uncle Steve you make great rubs. Gator shake is my favorite and a close second is south Texas red.
Very tasty and tender looking pulled pork. Cheers! ✌️
Thank you Dwayne I appreciate you !
Picked up some comp pig and smoke bomb- need to try it out on pulled pork. Gonna start my search for a Orion cooker
Louis I was very apprehensive about buying my Orion but I bought it and I have never looked back it works great ! Thanks for checking it out !
Looks a bit dry to me
Jim you can’t make it dry in the Orion. It’s a closed container.
Pulled pork is the best! New sub here. Found you via @Wayne's Beer Delivery shout out video. Looking forward to watching your content. Cheers! 🍺🎩
Thank you Brian for checking it out !
All this sandwich is missing is extra pickles, great video!
Thank you my friend I appreciate it !
Brother that pulled pork looks awesome. Very delicious looking. Thanks for sharing! 👍🍻
Thank you brother I appreciate it !
Boston Butts is what I use for my sausage. It does great! I need to break out my Orion, haven’t used it in a long time!
Thanks Gene the pellets perked up my interest and really made a difference !
Came to get my pork pulled!
Thanks for checking it out !
@@CuffNStuffBBQAlways a pleasure!
Did u have to add any charcoal during the 5 hr cook?
No using old blue I only had to stir it twice ! Thanks for checking it out !

We have always loved the results we get with the Orion !
I love the gator shake. Uncle Steve makes a great rub. Hard to not use it. Going to get some rubs from Ric too.
Thanks Adam it hard to beat Gator Shake !

Been looking at the Yoder but it’s going to be on the wish list for a while !
@@CuffNStuffBBQ save up and get the Yoder, you will love it!
First to the table
Thanks Stelly !
