Pulled picnic

[JCAP]

Hey all!
The local Price Rite had picnic shoulda for 0.99/lb this week so I picked on up for a smoke session. Coated it with SPOG and into the Pit Boss on smoke for 2 hours and then up to 225 overnight. Pulled it off at 10:30 this morning and it was butter. I served it piled on a bun with SBR and hot sauce with a side of roasted tomatoes and corn from a local farm. Can’t get much better. Thanks for looking!

Great post and awesome pics! What did you think of the picnic? I did one a while back and thought it was more like a “pulled ham”. Wonder if it was just that piece of meat that I bought.

I enjoyed the picnic but there was a definite pulled ham quality to it. My wife thought it was the best I’ve done so something was good about it!

Well in that case, guess you did a heck of a job and that’s all that matters!

I like the price of picnic and the flavor has a little more zip that pork butt IMO. Looks awesome!

Looks great and I swear it tastes better when it’s $0.99 a lbs haha

Cant beat the price and your result looks great. I'm not a fan of Picnic Shoulder for Pulled Pork. I have had a similar result to the others above. The Texture and Flavor was like under cured ham, no salt, and the largest muscle although tender, was quite dry. The Picnic is good for Sausage and preferred to Butts by quite a few folks...JJ

Looks good . I like the texture of picnics for sliced pork roast , but have also used them for PP with good results . Nice work .

Yup . I've had the same thing with whole vac packed loins .
In my opinion the sodium content in the bag can cause that if it been packed awhile .
