I’m from the Carolinas and attempted to turn a shoulder of a boar I recently shot to pulled pork.
It came out with great smoke and wasn’t dry at all. Every so often a piece had and irony, almost livery taste. Normal? The ladies and kids didn’t like it.
Anyone else have issues with an off taste?
I ice washed the meat for two days and believe I got all the glands cut out. I’ve never smoked a hog but sows always come out fine in the crock pot.
Boar smelled sweet when I shot him thus I kept the meat. When they smell nasty, I won’t bother.
Thoughts? Should I brine it first?
