Last year I tried doing Snows-esque pork steaks. Direct at about 275 for a few hours. They were ok but a little tough.
I’m trying again tomorrow - bought two 2 inch thick slabs of shoulder. Does the hive mind have any tips for me? Time/temp? Indirect/Direct? Mop? Finish in foil?
thanks in advance

I’ve done them many different ways. Last time I went indirect at 300F until about 170 internal and then wrapped until probe tender—around 200 on these. Turned out very well.

Unlike you I really love THIN pork steak hit with just S&P on both sides and then seared direct at 600 for 2 & 2! Since that time is SO short and SO hot I don’t close my dome during that quick 4 minutes! SO actually the temperature is undoubtedly higher than 600!

I watched and rewatched the Netflix series featuring Tootsie Tomanetz and Snow's BBQ. I do 2" shoulder steaks (I buy a shoulder and have my butcher cut it) raised direct at 275-300 dome temp. I mop with a mix of ACV, apple cider, DP Dizzy Dust and Worcestershire sauce so I don't wrap them. I take them to 190+ (roughly four hours) then FTC them for an hour or so while I do the sides. They are always fantastic. Hope this is helpful.Formerly @dharley prior to some password bs.

I like them 1/2" thick cooked direct, like a beef steak. You want the surface nice and browned/crusted over.South of Nashville - BGE XL - Alfresco 42" ALXE - Alfresco Versa Burner - Sunbeam Microwave

We do one inch steaks cut from large shoulders. the steaks are marinaded in a Gochujang (?) salsa overnight. Cook direct like a steak.It's good...

Here's a pretty good write up of Tootsie's method. https://www.texasmonthly.com/bbq/tootsie-tomanetzs-pork-steak/
