Anonymous said...: Thanks you SO much for the “Captain’s Shack” pulled pork recipe. Here’s the story:

Meg made the marinade Friday, bought a 8lb Boston Buttock’s chunk of meat. The Butt went into the bag and fridge at 6:30, after she stabbed the meat repeatedly with a very sharp, piercing metal thingy……I’m so relieved that Violence does not run in the Young bloodline or I’d be sleeping with one eye open!

I awoke at 5:30am on this past Saturday, brew my coffee and knew I had an hour to wake up to start the creation. I got the coals going at 6:30 and at 7am I placed a pan filled with Guinness Dark beer next to the coals and placed the soaked butt on the grate of my brand new WEBER charcoal grill (indirect heat). The hickory chunks I used soaked in a water/beer mixture for an hour and a half and were placed on top of the coals. Closed the lid and at 9am added more red hot coals and again at 11. Peeking in the grill was forbidden.

At 2pm, I wrapped the meat in heavy aluminum, but left the top open around the meat so I could baste with the marinade. The coals were plenty hot so I left well enough alone.

I basted every hour and at 5pm took the butt off the Weber, closed the aluminum, placed on a platter and brought it into the house.

At 6pm, I started pulling the meat, which took about 2 minute because the meat literally fell apart in the most beautiful strands I’ve ever seen. Not only was it the most delicious pulled pork I have EVER had, but the pork pulled like butter. I may have had 2-3 ounces of waste (fat).

I’ve been trying to master pulled pork for over a year now. I was using a really cheap charcoal grill and knew the Weber would help. The new grill holds heat so much better but the recipe is what made the meat so good. Rave reviews from all that consumed and are still consuming!!!!!!!

There is no need to try another pulled pork recipe as the “Captain’s Shack,” in my opinion, cannot be topped (except for with the Young family coleslaw)!

Next up……………….ribs. Any suggestions?????; July 21, 2008 at 8:55 AM

Interesting Family Information

The Wilsons came from Temple, Midlothian, Scotland (Clan Gunn) on the "Queeen of the West" and landed in New York City, NY on 1 March 1852. They were railroad people, both in Scotland and in Pennsylvania.

The Wests probably came from England. James Dixon West was a Captain in the Civil War for the Pennsylvania Regulars (Bucktails) and was probably at the surrender of Robert E. Lee. Mahlon Hibbs West - younger brother to James Dixon - was also in the Civil War (Maryland Company) and was sent to Andersonville Prison (GA) where he died of starvation. I have seen his grave marker at the National Cemetary in Andersonville.

Benjamin West, Sr was a renown colonial artist/painter. He studied in Europe and has been said to be the "American Raphael". He was commissioned by Kings and Popes.

The Youngs immigrated sometime prior to 1800 (Peter Young). The Gabriels came from Herbon, Duchy of Nassau, Germany in 1836. The Gabriels had one of the first woolen spinning mills in Allentown, PA. and were responsible for bringing to the area one of the first Jaquard looms. Their hosiery and knitted clothing was reknown throughout the East and in the mid-West. The Allentown Woolen Mill, later known as Henry Gabriel's Sons or "The Allentown Hosiery Company" was in existance until 1905 when it was moved to Coopersburg, PA. The goods produced were "... figured goods, coverlets, quilts, flannels, etc., for the farmers of the neighborhood who supplied the wool.".

Interesting Young/Gabriel Occupations: Carpenter, Fisherman, Glass Blower, Machinist, Factory Owner, Brewer, Teacher and Shoemaker.
