This is more of a primer on BBQing a pork shoulder cause I figured that most of y'all knew how to make a sandwich. However it does contain my last smoke log and perhaps will help some of you. Enjoy!

You inspired me. 12 lbs of pork have been on the smoker for the last three hours. Pulled pork out the wazzoo for dinner tomorrow night.

Yeah, a 9 lb butt is a bit much for me in one sitting, but it freezes really well if you have leftovers. -------------------- BOTH Core Champion - 2000, 2001 BOTH Dash-4 Champion - 2005, 2007, 2008 Local Barstool QB Champion - 2002, 2005 My stuff -> http://www.corrundum.net |

I like reading your stuff JC.
And pork shoulder is a great cut to learn how to smoke. You really can't screw it up. And it teaches someone the fundamentals. -------------------- Username still brought to you by the genius of Dr. Rock.

You can't rush good BBQ, it takes time and nothing will change that. So pull up a chair and a twelve pack then let the smoke do its work. I really soak down the pork with the mop. It makes a big difference in keeping the juiciness in. The nice thing about tenderizing with a fork is that it drives the spices down into the meat. I use a carving fork instead of a table fork, it gets things in deeper. -------------------- BOTH Core Champion - 2000, 2001 BOTH Dash-4 Champion - 2005, 2007, 2008 Local Barstool QB Champion - 2002, 2005 My stuff -> http://www.corrundum.net |

question: do you think poking all of the holes in the shoulder could actually cause it to dry out more quickly by giving the liquids an easier path to escape? I would say no. There is enough fat within the pork to offset it. One thing you never have to worry about with a pork shoulder/butt is drying it out. -------------------- Username still brought to you by the genius of Dr. Rock.

All that beautiful fat takes the whole cooking time to render throughout the meat - hard to dry out a decent shoulder. -------------------- "Let us speak courteously, deal fairly, and keep ourselves armed and ready." -- Theodore Roosevelt

Yeah, I wouldn't do that to ribs or a tenderloin, but for a shoulder it is not a problem. -------------------- BOTH Core Champion - 2000, 2001 BOTH Dash-4 Champion - 2005, 2007, 2008 Local Barstool QB Champion - 2002, 2005 My stuff -> http://www.corrundum.net |

Kid,
Used your rub and mop and my own sauce. It turned out great. -------------------- I'll keep my money, my guns, and my freedom, you can keep the change!
