COVID Pork

[RiversideSm0ker]

So I started my epic smoke. I’ve got two bits and half of a picnic shoulder running around 250 over pecan and cherry smoke. It’s a beautiful morning here in So Cal. About 75 out just a slight breeze. The smoke smells heavenly. There’s about 21 pounds of pork riding in there. It’s going to be shared with my coworkers on Monday. We will have some for dinner tonight and the rest is going to work. It’s the best I can do right now for my fellow front liners. I hope you all have a wonderful and safe Saturday.

Oh here are a couple of pics to strat things off. You have the mountain of pork and then things just getting rolling on my smoker.

I’m grateful to be essential. There are way too many people out of work because of this. I hope that things will be able to change soon.

Thanks, it smells wonderful. Just put a couple more chunks of pecan on there. This is going to be really tasty. I’m up to 138 on the two butts and about 145 on the picnic half.

The piece closest to the firebox is done. Now I’m waiting on the other two pieces. First one smells awesome.

Check the bark on this first piece. Of course, I have to include the final plated shot.

Night all.

The pulled pork was a big hit. Everyone enjoyed a delicious distraction for a little while. We spread everything out over several floors. I think that some of my coworkers were a bit surprised that I wasn’t BSing them over my barbecue. Now they are all looking forward to a big celebration barbecue when we finally get past all this and can walk around without masks again. Have a wonderful and safe day.

Looks great! That's some essential's pork. All the non essentials are missing out.

It really was great. I had enough leftover to make up a couple packs for future use. Got to put my new Foodsaver to work. How are you all doing this fine Saturday?
