Well today was a good day. I decided to do some pulled pork in my 55 gallon drum smoker. I love those things. I started it at about 11:30 this morning and I just pulled out the first pork shoulder. I think I started with the wrong cut. It was on sale for really cheap today so I bought 3, 5lb 'ers. I know you should use the Boston Butts but I always try new things. The had the bone in and some skin on them. I did take off the skin but left the bone in. I used my rub and my basting sauce to flavor them. Using mild hickory chunks for smoke I kept the temperature at about 225-250. Two of the shoulders were wrapped individually in foil with a little Sprite in the mix. (Just trying something I read somewhere) The last one I just rubbed, sprayed and let it go. I put them on at 11:30 and checked them at about 2:45pm. I added a little spray of my basting sauce and opened the foil on the ones that were wrapped. At 5pm I took the one that was not wrapped out of the smoker. It was at about 155 degrees. I took in inside and pulled it apart. It wasn't really liked I hoped but I think it was because of the cut of meat. It tastes amazing though. I made another batch of my home made BBQ sauce today to. Put the meat and the sauce together and it really out of this world. I have attached some pictures. I hope you enjoy. If you have anything to add please feel free to respond. I would love to hear everyone's comments. I hope you like the pictures. Eat well, live better and BBQ.
