    First time pork shoulder

    5 hours in. Temp is at 140. The winds changed direction and is blowing 15-25 right now, so i bumped the smoker to 275 to help counter.

    First time pork shoulder

    My plan is to see in a few hours where it is at temp wise. I’m basing it on 1.5 hours per pound. I expect it to take longer but I’m hoping for around 12-13 hours. It’s 50 degrees here today so hopefully it will be alright

    First time pork shoulder

    940 am and meat is on. I meant to grab a specific butt rub yesterday but ran late at work and had dinner plans. I ended up rubbing it down with @SmokinAl pork rub. Temp is set to 240. Since i injected I decided a couple degrees higher to offset that a little

    First time pork shoulder

    You add salt to the injection? I just bought my supplies and meat. 8.16lb bone in.

    Should I apply a rub with more of a kick to offset to Dr Pepper a bit?

    First time pork shoulder

    going to do a pork shoulder for first time ever. Got a new pellet grill and the pork is on sale at local grocer. I’d like to inject with cherry Dr Pepper. A couple questions: 1. How much do I inject? 2. Temp to smoke at? 3. Do I rub with anything or just use inject with cherry Dr Pepper and...

    pork spares on a pellet grill

    Thanks. I’ll keep that in mind. I wasn’t sure if they were chewy due to not enough foil time, cook temp, or just the ribs themselves. They didn’t have a lot of meat on them, but when you can’t get to the butcher shop til 15 min before the close, you take what you can get

    pork spares on a pellet grill

    After an hour in at 215, took the foil off and cranked it up to 250 for the rest of the smoke. Will post pictures when done. To sauce or not sauce one rack when it gets closer to time

    pork spares on a pellet grill

    Thanks. On my stick burner I usually do around 250, same method. This is my first smoke ever on a pellet grill, just picked it up Monday, and the ribs are just shy of 3lbs. I wanted to do 225 but worried they would cook too fast and not have time to foil. I just wanted to play safe for my first...

    pork spares on a pellet grill

    After 3 hours they were looking great. Put butter, some rub, sugar and water and some apple pie moonshine in some foil for one and the same minus the moonshine in the other. Back on the grill at 215 for about an hour

    pork spares on a pellet grill

    Got both slabs rubbed and wrapped in the refrigerator now. Put down mustard, a light coating of applewood rub and then ALs rub on top. They are smaller slabs at just under 3lbs each, so I’m not anticipating a long smoke
