It was absolutely delicious. Smokey, juicy, porky, a little barky. I would definitely do it again.
The only thing is that now I have a pork fat overload. I had a slice of each roast about 1/2 inch think.
I was thinking I would tread it like when people roast pork belly in the oven.
So, I was able to get about 8ish pounds of pork belly from the new butcher that just opened. Since I could not find pink salt for the life of me, and only had 5 days before I was going to cook it today, I choose to do it (about 4 lbs of what I bought) as a roast.
Since I'm doing it as a roast...
Picnic roast was good too. We smoked it to 199 degress. It took 30 minutes to go from 198 to 199. We were "starving" so we took it off and rested it for 30 mintes in foild and wrapped in a blanket. It was very pullable.
Chicken was delicious. My daugher (3 year old) ate a bunch of it. So I'm a proud dad. We kept it at 235, and although the skin wasn't crisp, it was not soggy. I'll call it half crisp. We loved it. We will be doing it again.
What temp should I smoke at?
I read one recipe for chicken at 235 and pork at 225. Will setting it at 235 affect the pork negatively and cook it too fast?
I never officially posted here. Been smoking (not as much as I like) for about 6 months now.
I brined a chicken over night and we have a picnic roast that we will be doing today as well.
One questions, which should I put on top, the pork or chicken? I'm leaning pork. Thoughts?
