First Pork Shoulder ...progress report and Pics

Alton · February 23

Thanks everybody , so here the plan. Rubbed with JH Pecan Rub over yellow mustard. I than placed in in a large ziplock and poured 8oz of half and half apple cider vinegar , apple juice mixture. I'm going to keep in in the refrigerator for about 6hrs until I'm ready to start the smoke. Plan on reapplying the rub. I'm going to use pecan chunks with a beer pan. Low and slow over night. I will keep you posted

Ok , reapplied rub. Got the temp between 220 and 250 with lots of Pecan smoke. Will check it and spay it in about 4 hrs

Interested to see how much the marinade affects the flavor of that baby. Let me know how the pecan rub tastes.

Put it on at 10:00 last night . Dome temp held steady at 240 all night. Shoulder temp is presently at 174 and been there for the past hour and a half. Guess this is what everybody calls the stall? Forgot to mention that it is now 7:00am. 9 hours into the cook.

Forgot to post the pictures. Pictures taken at 8:00 10 hours into the cook.

Looking great! Yep thats the stall.

Let me know how you like the pecan rub, I've heard good things but never tried it.

Looks like you got it....Next time do two of them, pull it, portion into family size meals in a vacuum seal or ziploc rolled tight and freeze. Makes for quick dinners during the week.

13 hours INT Temp 195-197. Probe moves in and out like butter and the Bone is wiggling all over the place. Pulled and FTC till early afternoon dinner with the family. Will let you know how it taste when we pull the pork and taste it

Last report. Good sweet bark, but very moist meat! Best way to describe the taste and texture is BUTTER :P the family and myself are very pleased :D . Enjoying it with fresh salsa tortillas with pimento cheese ...yum yum

Man that looks great you did a good job, my wife and I take left overs with us on vacation and make Po-boys with French bread buttered with garlic butter and add our homemade sauce to it and press it in a skillet. Mmmmmmmmmmmm Good

Looks good! Will try cooking this one of these days.

Looks awesome. So was the JH Pecan Rub a winner? I have some at home but haven't tried it on a butt. I did my first one (2 actually) last weekend and used TXBBQ Rub and they turned out great. Made some egg rolls last night out of some of it.

cdees_1993 · April 19

That looks great! You have inspired me to do another butt this weekend!

Keep the photos coming!
