    My first picnic shoulder (not Boston butt)

    I add a homemade Sweet Apple BBQ sauce that has Apple Juice as a base to it. My family goes crazy over that stuff.

    My first picnic shoulder (not Boston butt)

    Yes, mine came skin on, too. I was considering making cracklin' from the skin, but I was in a rush to also get the same night's dinner done and didn't feel like running the oven for 4 hours to dry the skin out.

    The skin was nice and sticky because of the rub I put on it. But the meat was so juicy!

    19 hour brisket

    That brisket was a choice, not prime. Surprisingly had excellent marbling and plenty of fat.
