Getting ready to smoke a 9lb pork shoulder tomorrow. It's going to be almost 30° out tomorrow, so I thought it would be a good day to do it.

Well, I didn't get up as early as I wanted, but I got everything in just before 8am.

All set to go.

Potatoes in a pan with boiling water. I've not done them like this before, but we don't like them just done on a rack. The skin always is ti dried out. I used to put potatoes in the water pan, but I switched to sand in there. It was a big improvement, now I just have to get potatoes down. Never tried whole onions before, and I ran out of room on the rack lol. So I just put the others on top of the taters.

Potatoes are about 1/2 done (so excited! I think we almost like taters water-smoked better than the pork!) 

Onions are nice and tender. Taste pretty darn good, too. Should make a good sandwich topping. Bet some would be really good in scrambled eggs.

Looking good!

Do the onions serve a purpose during the smoke?  I haven't seen that before

I bet you could make some pretty amazing bacon jam with those onions.

Hi Mike, 

No, I just wanted to try smoked onions. I like to cook with them and thought they might taste good. They do!

I like a good crusty roll, meat topped with coleslaw. I added some slices of the smoked onion... They put that sammy over the top
