Alright everyone, I am posting my attempt at smoking two 10lbs Pork Picnics for the first time. I have done many pork shoulder/boston butts, but never a picnic. I am hosting a fundraiser tomorrow, and promised to sell pulled pork sliders. Here is what I have done so far. Will keep this updated with the outcome. I am using my WSM 18.5".
Sorry that I didn't take pics of the Prep, but I did remove the skin and tried to keep a layer of fat on them.
Outcome of these shoulder spending the night in the cooler with the rub and injections in them.
My take on the Minion Method, used an old coffee can to keep the middle hollowed out.
Look at the perfect hole made for the briquettes to fit in!!!
On the Smoker with Hickory wood chunks. The Second Picnic is on the grate below. I am hoping that the top Picnic will drip down and help baste the bottom one. I am factoring 1hr 45 min per pund. For some reason I find that my smoker takes just a lil bit longer to get 205 internal temp.
All buttoned up ready for the long smoke ahead.
Will keep things posted as I go along with pics. Hopefully this comes out well. Any helpful tips are greatly appreciated. Like I mentioned above, this is my first time ever doing a pork picnic.
