    Too Salty

    You have to always do the fry test. But you can still soak it in water now and it should bring some more of the salt out of it.

    Looking for a Basic Butt rub.

    I'll tell you an old secret. I have been using Old Bay for years now. If you want a good bark add some brown sugar to the mix. Maybe 60/40

    Smoked bluefish help...

    I have used a wet brine in the past. Then just smoke until nice shiney meat. You should try some fish dip. After you smoke the fish then let it sit overnight in the frig and then blend it up with some bread crumbs an alittle mayo and fresh garlic and it's really good fish dip.

    My thoughts are if you didn't spend to much money on it I might think about getting another barrel just to be safe.

    Pork Shoulder, ABT's and some Monster Chicken Wings (legs)

    Now are you leaving this shoulder in a oven that's turned on??? I hope that the shoulder got up to at least 140° internal temp. You should really get it up to at least that so you don't have any danger of the bacteria stuff starting to grow.

    what kind of grinder is best for stuffing? ac legg cure

    I'm with Alesia and bite the bullet and buy a seperate stuffer. It is really a lot easier to crank a handle then deal with the motor. A motor slows down where a hand crank stops dead.
