I've done the Pork Tenderloin recipe from Mesa Grill. It is indeed insane.

As I type, 2-7 lb boneless shoulders, rubbed, tied, and rested all night, sitting at 250F since 8:30 this morning. The entire neighborhood smells good.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

What type of wood are you using on those shoulders Jamie?

Mark, I have lump charcoal and 2" x 1" round hickory tree limb discs. We use hickory in our BBQ contest, so I was able to find some small limbs to cut into discs. I put a few of them in the pile of lump for the smokey flavor.

Here's some ponr. I took one butt and partly shredded it and put our BBQ sauce on it. It simmered for nearly two hours. Both butts turned out great. My in-laws are in town, so it was nice to be able to cook for them.

The first 3 pics were from done time. The last two were after a couple of hours of slow heating. I cooked the butts to 185F.

Jamie- Whats the purpose of tying them? I have never seen this done. I like the simmering idea and may try that on the next couple.

The shoulders are boneless purchased from Costco. Since the bone was cut out, the butt tends to open up. Tying them keeps them together.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

I wasn't hungry until I saw these pictures. Having never owned a smoker before, is there a brand or type that anyone can recommend?

I got the CharGriller Akorn from Lowe's. It's a kamado-style that's easy on the wallet. Always wanted a BGE or Primo, but couldn't see spending the money. The Akron was $299, plus 10% off using the coupon from the USPS moving/relocation package. I fully endorse it. It does a really good job and is fun to cook with.

I took the vast majority of both to church for a Sunday fellowship lunch and it was a big hit!

Thank you very much for sharing.

Smoked a pork couple smaller pork loins yesterday, after a couple hours in a Jamaican Jerk marinade. Served with Zatarains Black Beans and Rice.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

When someone as far up into MN as you are can enjoy Zatarain's, that makes me feel all warm inside.

Re: What's in your smoker?
 

JEEZ JAMIE, I just had web browsing to completion.
