    2nd Pulled pork attempt. To rub or not to rub? To foil not to foil? These are the questions.

    The best 'cue I've made has been without rub. Really doesn't have much of an effect on the bark, IMO. Whereas the bark on a rubbed shoulder ends up as a more of a concentrated dose of the seasonings from your rub, the bark on a naked shoulder is more smoky/porky. I've never had any problems with...

    Doin' up a shoulder (first post, w/ Q-view)

    jarjar--two fingers an hour of tequila would WRECK me sooner rather than later. I can handle my booze, but I've got some baaad memories with that stuff. Not much of a change appearance-wise at 2:40pm, so I won't post a picture. Didn't even bother to take the temperature. I'm going to put the...

    Doin' up a shoulder (first post, w/ Q-view)

    12:05pm--5 hours and 3 beers into my Saturday smoke. I usually aim for 1 beer/hr, so while I'm a bit short on a nominal basis (and who's to say I can't catch up?), I'm doing just fine when you take ABV into consideration. The GF has knows I'm a waste of life when she's out of town for the...

    Looking like a good bit of brown sugar and black pepper in that rub. Am I right? Looks tasty.

    Doin' up a shoulder (first post, w/ Q-view)

    10:46am--It's gotten a little darker in the last 1:45 or so, but on the whole hasn't changed much. Wood is burning a bit faster today than it normally does; not sure why. I've had to open the lid up a lot more often than I'd like to, so I think this morning's goal of having this guy done for a...

    3 Shoulder / Picnic Ham Smoke w/ Q - View

    Looks like I'm not the only one smoking picnics this morning. I'm also looking at some rain later in the day, but I'm hoping my umbrella rig will do the trick and I won't have to transfer to the oven. Will be monitoring your thread--happy smoking!

    NC native in the ATL

    Just wanted to introduce myself. I live in Atlanta and am relatively (<1 year) new to smoking, but I'm totally hooked. Have 10 or so pork shoulders under my belt, a handful of chickens, some wings, steaks, and even some burgers and dogs! My favorite item to cook is definitely the shoulder--while...

    Doin' up a shoulder (first post, w/ Q-view)

    Hi, all. I've read these forums for a few months now and have learned a LOT from ya'll. Got up early (although not as early as I'd planned) this morning to cook a shoulder and decided what the hell, I'll log it on SMF. Hope ya'll enjoy! I started with a 10.1 lb picnic ham. Would've rather done...
