Last minute decision , I was going to smoke Pork Butts tomorrow, but today is going to be in the 70's and nice, with rain coming in this evening for tomorrow and Sunday. Sooooooo here we go. No pictures yet, since it was last minute.
I am doing 2 8# shoulders as we speak. I am using my regular rub. Sat them out while I was getting smoker ready, rubbed them down with mustard then my rub, on at 6:00 AM I will start checking them about noon, sometimes I wrap sometimes I don't, If the color is good, temp coming up nicely I don't wrap. If they are getting too dark or the temp is too low I will wrap. If I do I will unwrap about that last hour or so to firm up the bark. I'll pull them when the internal temp is about 195º to 200º wrap them in foil and a couple old towels and let them rest for an hour or so. Internal temp will climb to 205º to 210º The shoulder bone should slide right out and we will have pulled pork. AS usual I'll probable see what else I have to throw on, I know I have some sausage
