Smoked Pork Shoulder













I got a fabulous Pork Shoulder from Agustin the Butcher.......... 25 pounds of sweet pork shoulder..... The shoulder consists of two roasts ... the picnic and the boston butt.... both are great cuts... but left as one ..... it becomes a feast for 40 peeps........ !!!!


I dragged this monster home and rubbed it good with my fave Pork rub...... mostly brown sugar and a lot of other seasonings......... and let it rest overnight in the refrigerator ........ then it was destined for the Master Forge Double Door Propane Gas Smoker. No mean feat let me tell you...... 225 F ........at one hour per pound..... thats a 25 hour smoke....... it came out beautifully.... then it went into some heavy duty aluminum foil, wrapped twice... then wrapped in a couple of towels .... then into the cooler for 4 hours of finishing.......... when it came out of the cooler to get pulled apart for the sandwiches, it was still way to hot to handle by hand..........

What a great way to share some food with good friends ......... pulled pork, baked beans, fresh baked buns, bbq sauce, corn on the cobb!!!!! Fantastic.......................................!!!!!!
