Pulled pork will be on the menu tomorrow, but we're having it at the inlaws, so I've got to cook it today. I got a ~5lb pork shoulder, but thought that that would be a bit much (there are only 4 of us eating), so I split it into two.

The one on the left was rubbed and ziplocked with something I found in a mason jar in my pantry, labeled in my handwriting "Smoker BBQ Rub." God only knows when I made it or what recipe I was following, but it tasted fine, so.

The one on the right I decided to do with a Szechuan rub. I'm in Asia, why not? I'll make a sauce for it later.

For the first time, I decided to add baked beans to the meal. I found a recipe online that was using canned baked beans as a base, but those aren't available here (I'd have to go up to Kyoto, I think) so I got some kidney beans and what I'm fairly sure are Navy beans, but the import food store only stocks beans from Poland (?), so I'm not positive.

The recipe I found has dark rum in it, which sounds interesting, so I've got the beans set up to do the drip-catching:

And we're off, see you in a few hours!

The stall, the stall. Each piece is about 2.75lbs and they've been in there for nine hours at 225. Well, 8 at 225, I kicked it up to 240 when they got to 180 about an hour ago. Beans are good though.
 
10 hours for the one, 12 hours for the other, split from a 5.5lb original.

Spectacular bark, but pics tomorrow, past my bedtime.

No pics of beans, because, well, beans. Also made cornbread, cucumber and onion salad, and there will be corn on the cob. Thanks for looking!
