    ECB Mods? Anyone trying anything new?

    Some photos of my butane ECB setup. It's a rainy day with a little wind, so I added the cheap aluminum foil barrier to make sure the flame wouldn't get blown out. Tough day for a smoke, though. Fortunately, it's a bit easier with the portable burner.

    ECB Mods? Anyone trying anything new?

    Going no-charcoal on a 5-pound boneless shoulder today. Using cherry for smoke and heat, and a portable butane burner (uses canisters) for additional heat. Decided not to use a water pan today because of the high humidity.

    Smokin' This Weekend

    This one turned out pretty well, too.  It's in another thread, through: http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/166807/starting-with-thinly-sliced-pork-shoulder

    starting with thinly-sliced pork shoulder

    Time for the moment of truth... I'd say it turned out pretty well.  Definitely better than I expected.  As you can see, it pulled much differently than a regular shoulder, but the mouthfeel (if I'm using the term correctly) is pretty much the same.  Would I do it again?  Sure, if the sliced...

    Smokin' This Weekend

    Smoked two cuts today.  Here's the small (1.5-lb.) pork shoulder, which is about 50% or more money muscle.  I did this on the ECB with lump and cherry at about 225° for 4 hours, to an IT of about 180°, then put wrapped it and put it in the oven to finish for about 90 minutes, with a final IT of...

    starting with thinly-sliced pork shoulder

    After 60 minutes in the oven at 230° and another 30 minutes at 265° (I got a bit impatient, a.k.a. hungry), the IT was right about 200°.  After taking this photo, I hit it with a butane torch for about 15 seconds to firm up the bark. Right now, it's wrapped in a towel, resting comfortably in...

    starting with thinly-sliced pork shoulder

    Didn't have much of a stall, but the charcoal and cherry started to die out at around 180° IT, so I brought them inside and put them in the slow cooker, over a bed of sliced onions, then tented with a little foil to prevent the condensed steam from dripping off of the lid onto the pork...

    starting with thinly-sliced pork shoulder

    Here they are at 140 IT on the shoulder.  I'm resisting the temptation to spritz. Holding together better than expected.

    starting with thinly-sliced pork shoulder

    Good question... I usually just post to the ECB group, but this topic is a bit more general-interest, I suppose. Here's the zombie after outer rub and refrigeration (the larger one is the zombie, the smaller one is a partial pork shoulder with the collar): And right after putting them on the...
