I honestly didn't think about if there was a difference. It was labeled pork shoulder and I saw the price I figured great let rock it out. Even though they say it supposed to be a tougher meat it was quite tender and juicy. I will buy a pork butt next time cook it same way to compare if I can...

Thank you for all the tips! The pork I had was a Pork Shoulder, so I think it had 3 bones in it and it had that hard leather outside pigskin. I trimmed off all that hard pigskin and left the white fat for flavor. I scored that white fat as well before smoking. I wrapped mine in 2 layers of...

Think it came out quite good! Kids loved it wife loved it can't ask for more I suppose

The probing for tenderness is this just taking a meat prob and sticking it in a few spots and if it slides in and out smooth with no stick I should be good to go?

Hey all, I picked up a 11lb bone in Pork Shoulder on manager special for like $.75 a lb. I decided to give it a try on my pellet smoker so I could sleep and have food for today. I read many many posts and recipes so I decided to try a mixture of things. So first thing I did was I trimmed off a...

Thanks for the tip! I had seen that in a video and tried using the porcelain grates that I guess are meant to grill in the fire box and couldn't make it fit. I didn't think to use the stainless steel ones at the bottom of the cook chamber. I def going to do that next cook

I want to try and break this down step by step so this might be a longer post with pictures etc. First the back story. I decided to run to BJ's on Father's Day to grab some ribs to smoke on my recently picked up off marketplace OKJ Highland, I wanted to give it a first smoke run. While I was...

I seasoned it inside and out (actually still seasoning it). This thing is looking beautiful!

So I was able to pickup a OKJ Highland on Facebook Marketplace for $50! It was sitting under a tarp for years so inside the main chamber had to gunked up water on the bottom and looked to have rusted. I took out a piece of steel wool and went to work. After 30 min and severe arm pain....I...

I watched a bunch of videos on it and when I seen it on sale I pulled the trigger. I seasoned it today (I made mods when i put it together. Gasket on top around the base and then on the bottom for a tighter seal. I replaced the O-ring with RTV 600 and I also removed the factory silicone around...

I actually have a ton of wood from trees I cut down on my property 3 years ago. I left them in large stump form never cut them down into logs yet. I just started cutting them down as needed for fire pit use. I certainly did not store them well. lot of black on the face of the wood but inside...

I know the term BBQ is very subjective based on where you are from but to me, if it is cooked with wood / charcoal it BBQ..lol I actually just finished putting together my Akorn Kamado I bought few weeks ago and it finally arrived. I'm looking into an off-set as well for maybe a "true" smoker...

Hey all! New to the forums and I am getting back into wanting to smoke some good meats! This may be a longish post as I kind of have a dilemma : I made an impulse purchase about 2 weeks ago because my "propane grill" rusted and died as well so I pretty much had nothing but my flat top left. I...
