What to put in the smoker this weekend?

[StagLefty]

Just put a pork shoulder in my Pit Barrel. Best purchase I've ever made for outdoor cooking !!!

3 hours smoked with olive oil and spices,1 1/2 wrapped in foil with apple juice. Falling off the bone :

You smoked a pork shoulder in 4.5hrs? What was the weight & at what temperature did you smoke it at?

I smoked a 9lb butt that took about 12 hours on sunday.

Pit Barrel Cooker cooks a lil hotter, 290-310, than low and slow smoker. Times are usually about half of what most smokers run. Still get the smoke ring, and awesome this took all nite/day taste.

Will not make ribs any other way now....

6 pound shoulder-smoked to 160 internal and then 195 wrapped in foil.Plus in the PBC the meat is hanging and I think that makes a difference. Falling off the bone good !!!

Being a devote Olive Oil base rub guy. I would suggest you try mustard. Never a fan of the stuff, ever. Then decided to give it a try in place of the Oil. Very happy with results, especially how the dry seasoning soaked in.

Thanks-always looking for new ideas. The apple juice in foil came from you also I think.

Agreed on both accounts. Cheap yellow mustard coat on the outside and apple juice for the foil.

OR try orange juice, if there's no apple in stock
