Grill Master: Jean Alexandre | Short URL: This is the short link." />After successfully smoking a 7lb flat cut of brisket, over the weekend I decided to try my hand at pulled pork. I also threw in a couple of slabs of St Louis cut ribs for the 4 hour ride. I hate wasting space on my grill, I don’t know why. Charcoal ain’t cheap!
