Pork Shoulder Kettle Style

[gmc2003]

Well, it was my weekend off and I found one of our local grocers selling shoulders for .99/lb. earlier in the week. I bought one and decided to let her ride on Saturday.


It was a good size weighing in at a little of 11.5/lb. Fairly well trimmed also.

I left the fat cap on and just scored with a criss cross pattern. Then gave her a couple of shakes of Stubbs Pork rub.

Onto the 26" Kettle using the SnS. Two chunks of hickory wood for flavoring.

After about 5hrs I opened the lid to see how she was progressing:

Then into a nice cozy tent she went:

All pulled. I didn't make a samie that night. It was getting late. So, we just nibbled on a few pieces. Umm Good

Total Cook time: 12hrs. 11 in the smoker, and 1 in the oven.

SnS needed to be refilled twice.

Avg cook temp: between 250* to 275*

We'll be eating pulled pork sammies tonight, and I'll take some to work tomorrow. Then it will be vacuumed sealed to be enjoyed in the not-so-distant future.

Thanks for looking

I'm liking that Chris!! Never done one on the kettle though. Gave consideration to it couple times but just seem to keep popping them into the smoker. I can only guess you got some amazing smoky flavor on that thing. Well done sir!!

Nice work on that. I may have to invest in a kettle now. Also great price on that. They have been popping up here lately. Good looking pork there. Point!

YEAP! Looks good! Good work on that kettle!
I just did one on my WSM last night. Finished it in the oven this morning.

When was the last time you used your WSM?

Looks nice Chris, but I’m calling bs. No picture of the beer pole, so it didn’t happen. The ribs you posted were legit, but I have questions about this butt. Jk/ messing with you. We are are having PP tonight as well, enjoy.

Nice looking butt, I need to do more with my kettle.

Great looking shoulder Chris, and great price also.
PP sandwiches great, extra portions done up for later meals perfect.

Great post without the post. Nothing like classic pulled pork. I just ran out of my freezer packs so it’s time to make some more.

Thanks Ringer. You won't be sorry getting a kettle. I was shocked when I saw the price.

YEAP! Looks good! Good work on that kettle!

When was the last time you used your WSM?

Appreciate it Justin. I don't think I've used my WSM in a year or more. I better take it out soon to make sure no critters are living in it

Looks good Cris and it always taste best @ $0.99!! Second post today I’ve seen using the SnS.

Thanks Jeff. I use the SnS and Vortex often.

LOL thanks Sven. We're pretty much stocked up with PP for the remainder of the year.

Mighty fine PP Chris!
