Hey Guys,

So I took all the knowledge I could from this forum and put it to good use. I got a Masterbuilt Propane Smokehouse for my birthday from my awesome wife, and dove into this whole smoking thing head first. Here is my first smoke. I bought a 8# Pork Picnic, trimmed it down, separated the bone (just because I didn't want to smoke for 16 hours... haha), and let the smoke rip. I used a mix of Cherry and Hickory and boy did I get some awesome results. I started it at Noon and pulled it at 11pm. So, about 11 hours. I kept my smoker at about 244 degrees and pulled the pork at 195. Enjoy the pics

My New Masterbuilt Propane Smokehouse


Open up :)


The Robins are out, that means I need to smoke...


Got an Awesome deal on the Pork Picnic.



naked beauty


Trimmed the skin and some fat off.


Split out the bone, just because I didn't want to smoke it whole for 18+ hours.


Rubbed down good and into that plastic bag for 24 to marinate.


Soaked my Hickory and Cherry chips for 24. Also used chunked Hickory but didn't soak those. Awesome smoke!!


I got an iGrill to use. Highly recommend this. I preheated the smokehouse then put the butts in.


In Order: Blue bottle has a mix of 3 to 1 Rum and Apple Juice, the butt is after 24 marinating in rub, I made BDSE Makers Mark BBQ Sauce, and SOFlaQue finishing sauce.


Here is BDSE BBQ sauce, stuff is ridiculous good!!!


Thin blue smoke?? I THINK SO!!!


Had awesome smoke, with the soaked chips and dry hickory chunks. Look at that TBS guys!!


Just a shot about 4 hours in.


Pulled the pork after about 11 hours. I smoked the WHOLE way through, and I think the results show it. Check it out guys. Look at that bark, man is it an awesome thing


Up close and personal


Juicy moist awesome Pork.


Look at that SMOKE RING... BOOM.


Final Pull, thanks for looking everyone!!!

Can't believe that is your first pp smoke! Looks like you had everything planned perfectly, and .70lb for pork is awesome!

Planning is a huge part of me. I have to do things right the first time and I take research to the next level... Lol thanks for the compliment!!!

Hahaha, i do the same things. My wife likes how i research things but sometimes i just end up researching myself out of fun! lol

Great looking pork and bark. I'm sure this is your first of many rubs in the future. Hope everyone enjoyed the PP!
 
Looks great! 

I did my first pulled pork this weekend too but mine stalled ~155 for over 3 hours. Then I cheated and when it got to 165, I wrapped it. It went from 165 to 200 in about 3.5 hours. To be honest, mine was good but the bark didn't look as good as yours did.

Congrats, its always exciting the first time you do something and it works out well.

AWESOME looking PP there NWO!!!!

Everything looks juicy and delicioius.

Also, it does my heart good to see more members using my BDSE recipe!  I also use a hickory/cherry combo on my pork butts...that is my favorite combo so far.

Great job!!!!

Can't mess with perfection. Man that's good sauce. I think I've put it on everything from the pulled pork to turkey sandwich to eggs and even over some plain ol oven ba

Great job on the Q!  It's always nice when the first try comes out good, keeps you coming back for more.  Welcome to the dark side... forget cookies, we have BBQ!!!
 
.99 cents a pound.  That is unreal.  I would have bought a truck load for the freezer.

By the way, take the Christmas light off your garage, LOL.
