Smoked Pork Shoulder Oh Yeah Baby!!!

Here's tonight's dinner. It's my daughters birthday and she wanted pulled pork for her party. So being the kind, considerate, loving, devoted, outstanding, and the fact that I couldn't get out of it, hehe, dad that I am I said OK!!!
This is the way I do my thing on the smoker.I make my own spice rub. Ancient secret so don't expect the recipe to be forthcoming, hehe. I rub it on really well, coat with yellow mustard, then put in the fridge over night to marinate. I remove it from the fridge about 2 hours before placing on the grates to come to room temps and then sprinkle with more rub mix. The mustard cooks off and the vinegar seals the juices and seasonings in the meat..
I get the grill ready. I add a drip tray with beer and apple juice aboit 1/4 full. Add the coals. When the initial temp reaches about 300 degrees, I add a mix of about 25% hickory or oak(or a mix of the 2) to about 75% Apple wood, then I put the meat on the grates. The temp falls down to the 225 to 250 degree range after adding the meat. This is the temp I keep the grill at intil the meat is done. Usually 1.5 hours/pound or until about 180 degrees internal temp. I smoke for the first 4 hours. Turn the meat half way through the total time and begin basting with a mix of Vinegar, apple juice, rub ix, and ketcup. Helps keep the meat moist and seals it again.
Enough talk, here are some prep pics/

Yes sir! That looks fantastic.

I have a couple different ways I do a shoulder. All are great.

I use what's called a Big Green Egg, or I use a slow cooker.

"Vegetarians, and their Hezbollah-like splinter-faction, the vegans, are a persistent irritant to any chef worth a damn.

To me, life without veal stock, pork fat, sausage, organ meat, demi-glace, or even stinky cheese is a life not worth living.

Vegetarians are the enemy of everything good and decent in the human spirit, an affront to all I stand for, the pure enjoyment of food. The body, these waterheads imagine, is a temple that should not be polluted by animal protein. It's healthier, they insist, though every vegetarian waiter I've worked with is brought down by any rumor of a cold.

Oh, I'll accomodate them, I'll rummage around for something to feed them, for a 'vegetarian plate', if called on to do so. Fourteen dollars for a few slices of grilled eggplant and zucchini suits my food cost fine."

Thanks Bobby. I just about bought a Big Green Egg but bought this cooker because of the larger surface area. I really went back and forth between the 2 for a couple of weeks before the purchase.

LOL, I meant to put in a Vegan disclaimer/warning in the first post but got wrapped up in pork fat, hehe Love Anthony Bourdain's show.

I wish I was there too, I can almost smell it. lol I know that rub recipe is a secret, especially since I already tried to get it out of you, hehe, but I am hoping you at least consider leaving it to me in your will. lol

Yeah the BGE is a bit low on surface area. You can only get one shoulder and maybe a chicken on there.

Thank you for the warning. Uncontrollable drooling is right. That just looks divine.
