    Did a 7 Lb Pork Shoulder Sunday for watching football all day. Turned out great.

    I tried something different this time that I had never tried with a pork shoulder. Essentially I brined it in apple juice, root beer, and bourbon for 18 hours before applying the rub and letting it sit overnight rubbed down. I dont know if it was my imagination or not but I think it was the best shoulder Ive done yet. It was a hit with the guests as well. Paired up with homemade Mac N Cheese and Baked beans. yumm.

    Pizzas on the Weber tonight. Won't be many days like this before the snow flies.

    Snow just means move the grill into the garage.

    Some of us don't have a garage, but that's never stopped me. I've shoveled a path the day after a 30" snowfall, just to use the grill before.

    I just did burgers on the grill today. Spent most the day ripping out the garden and tilling in the 6 months worth of compost.

    Doing a 11# pork shoulder today. It’s been on for 7 hours already at 235 degrees, and is currently stalled at 158 degrees. Luckily I planned for the stall and it should be finished in plenty of time to rest for 30 minutes before dinner at 7. :drool:

    Looks great!

    That’s a fast smoke in my book. Anymore I never check the temp on a butt. From trial and error I can take em to 1.5 hrs per pound when they are big like that and end up with nice juicy meat. That sucker would’ve taken me 16-17 hrs, lol.

    What temp do you stop at?

    I take it to 170 naked, then foil it and take it to 190. The bone will slide right out and it’ll be tender and delicious. I always go by temperature and not time. Before I started monitoring temperature I was never able to get it just right by just going by time. Now I feel like I can’t miss.

    As predicted, the pork was delicious, tender, and juicy. I let it rest for 45 minutes and pulled it by hand, no tools needed. Perfectly done.

    Had some sammiches with candied jalapeños and bbq sauce on toasted buns with a side of home made slaw. Soooooooooo good!

    Curious, on the BGE I have to go to 200+ internal to get the bone to slide out? Granted, I don’t pull it and foil it because I think it softens the bark too much?

    It’s not only hitting about temp, it’s how long it’s at temp. It takes a while to break down the collagen and connective tissue, and that doesn’t really start until about 180° VUPD’s foil method slows the process giving it more time to get tender by 190°. You can get the same results by lowering the smoker temp towards the end of the cook to give it more time in the 180°-195° range without risking the crispy bark to foil.

    In my house the crispy bark is not sought after. I know that’s sacrilege but it is what it is and I have to live with these people. :laugh: I have used butcher paper in place of foil in the past and I get good results and also crispy bark. Same way for brisket, butcher paper gets the meat where it needs to be and doesn’t sacrifice the bark.

    So I have several smokers, but I need a new grill. I've always had a gas grill before, but now I've been looking at pellet poopers. It would be nice to have one where I can grill burgers or chicken, and also smoke a butt or rack or ribs on it so I don't have to fire up one of my bigger smokers when I'm only cooking for my son and I.

    I've pretty much narrowed it down to the Rec Tec RT-590 and the Green Mountain Daniel Boone model.

    https://greenmountaingrills.com/products/grills/prime-wifi/daniel-boone-wifi-prime/

    Does anyone on here have experience with either of these brands?
