With it just being the two of us at home and no friends coming by due to the virus, I've had to get creative with my big cuts of meat. This pork shoulder was no different. I split it into two portions, one boneless for burnt ends and one bone-in for pulled pork. Seasoned up with Meat Church Holy Gospel and tossed in the Camp Chef Woodwind at 220 high smoke until the bone-in portion was probe tender (wrapped about 160), and the burnt ends had the right bark on them but weren't going to fall apart when I cubed them. Rested and pulled the bone-in portion for some really good moist pulled pork (more of it later). Cubed the "burnt ends" and put them in a foil pan with copious amounts of butter and Sweet Baby Rays. I was super pleased with both portions of the shoulder! I may get banned for putting this many pics in one post lol.

Little beef rib in the back there that wasn't really picture worthy in the end but plenty tasty.

The burnt end portion at about 185 sliced and then cubed in the pan.

Final products, first the bone-in portion then the burnt ends.

Now for the reruns of the pulled pork, a couple burritos (Mexican and Asian style) and a killer take on a Cuban with homemade sliced pork sirloin instead of ham.

Looks amazing!! I’m nicknaming this post Porkapalooza!! One big celebration of delicious pork!
 
Fantastic job!! All of that looks amazing and I love the variety. So cool that you're doing so many different and creative things with one cut of meat. I'm impressed...and suddenly hungry. Imagine that :emoji_laughing:

I may get banned for putting this many pics in one post lol.

Heck, the number of pics is timid by comparison. If anybody was to ever get banned for posting too many pics, it'd either be me or Zach ( Misplaced Nebraskan Misplaced Nebraskan ) . Both of us are still here, at least for the time being, so it's probably a safe bet that you won't get banned.

Appreciate it Robert! And LOL on the pics, that's my favorite part of the posts on here. If I ever think I'm full just scroll the forums a little and that changes!
 
I don't think there is such as thing as too many pics when it comes to BBQ....or food in general. I applaud you creativity along with everyone else. Looks delicious, great job!
 
OMG what's in that Cuban? I used to get a good one passing through MIA back in the 90's (yeah I know, I'm old....) It all looks fantastic. Great Post!
 
Digging that Cuban. Good eats.
Thanks, Teal!

Appreciate it texomakid! The "Cuban" (I use that loosely you'll see why below) had:
1. Smoked Cajun pork loin thin sliced.
2. Pulled pork
3. Provolone
4. Regular yellow and sweet/hot mustards
5. Pickle spears sliced into thinner strips
6. Served on soft italian bread with the whole thing pressed in a buttery skillet
Not exactly authentic but still quite delicious!
