Pulled Pork: The Complete Technical Guide to Low & Slow Cooking for Perfect Pork Shoulder

By Daniele Merli

Pulled pork is not a recipe.
It is a system.

This book does not teach you "how to make pulled pork."
It teaches you how to control it.

From pork shoulder anatomy to the physics of collagen, from balancing salt and sugar to managing smoke, from the stall to the probe test, all the way to production yield and food safety: every phase is analyzed in a technical, clear, and practical way.

You will not find unnecessary storytelling.
You will not find backyard folklore.
You will find method.

Inside, you will discover:

- The structural differences between Boston Butt and Picnic
- How and why collagen transforms
- How to build a technically balanced rub
- How to control smoke without creating bitterness
- How to manage the stall without losing quality
- When temperature matters and when texture matters more
- How to perform the probe test correctly
- Why resting is part of the cooking process
- How to achieve perfect shredding
- How to manage moisture during service
- How to calculate yield, portions, and real cost
- How to store safely

This manual is designed for:

- advanced enthusiasts
- pitmasters
- BBQ professionals
- catering and food service operators
- anyone who wants to turn passion into expertise

Perfect pulled pork is not born from talent.
It is born from discipline.

Control of fire.
Control of temperature.
Control of time.

If you want to stop improvising and start replicating professional results, this book is your technical starting point.

Barbecue is transformation.
This manual teaches you how to master it.
