Hey AK, I see Lococo has picnic shoulders on for $.99 this week and was thinking of smoking one over some beans while they bake. How did this recipe turn out for you assuming you did this recipe.

Thanks driedstick, I was thinking I would have to dismantle it for hot smoking (not really a big deal) but I hot smoked some ribs and realised that it was better to hot smoke this way for more consistent temperature i.e. no heat loss from the oven when adding wood.
I forgot about this thread as well but have been enjoying the SS. For me the original recipe needs a little more Black Pepper. Other than that I am very happy with the out come and the 6 that are left are vacuum sealed in the meat cave to prevent them from getting to dry.
