5.5 LB Pork Shoulder on Mini-Max with Stokers

in EggHead Forum

I decided it was time to add a fan unit to my Mini-Max. Having the Stoker, I can easily add more BGEs with just another fan.

I removed my Kickash basket to get as much lump in as possible. I'm going 250° till 195° IT. I'm 30 minutes into it and all is looking good.

Here is how it's looking so far. Using a homemade indirect and raised set-up.

    Looking good! I've got an 8lber in the fridge now. And have 3 racks of spares on the large. Probably smoke the butt on Monday.

    What kind of rub is that?

    That looks great.  I've got to get mine going on a long cook as well.  So far, its only been grilling or fast roasting

    I just pulled and wrapped in foil. It cooked for just over 7 hours at 250° with another 45 minutes for getting up to temp. With the amount of RO lump left, I could've gone 12-14 hours. Now I just need to wait an hour so I can pull and eat.

    And here it is pulled.

    With the amount of lump left, I think I will put a 10 lb shoulder on my mini-max tomorrow.

    I wanted to try it before saying in case it sucked but I really liked it. I used equal parts of course sea salt, black pepper and garlic. My ration is a tablespoon of each per 5 lbs of meat.

    This rub works well on brisket as well!

    I agree, it actually is my brisket rub. I'm trying to cut back on all the rubs I have. Definitely a good replacement for the Plow Boys Yard Bird I've been using. Not saying it's the same taste, just an acceptable substitute.
