Portobello caps, zucchini, and beautiful marbled ribeyes.
Let's go Duke!
Picked up some vac sealed ribs during Memorial day sales, but went fishing Monday instead. Finally fired up the smoker today. ~4 hours at ~225.
Dry rub, sauce on the side for she who has to have some sauce:
Homemade pie chaser.
^^^ winner.
very nice! I'm a four hours at 225 guy myself, be it on the grill or (in frigid weather) in the oven.
p.s. did you cook with a rub only, or is there sauce on there as well?
Just the rub. Not very much though as I was using the Head Country commercial rub and only had about half a 6 oz. jar left.
My other go to rub is one I got out of the wife's Southern Living magazine a long time ago from a place named John Wills in Memphis. Online now: https://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/dry-spices
Red color is from the smoke. Used some oak wine barrel chips along with chunks of a plum tree I have that I trim regularly.
It's toasty today...not Vermont toasty though! (How weird is that?)
Toasty enough to do two trays of burritos on the grill.

In a rush to get and out of the butcher shop, I grabbed a pork shoulder instead of the two butts I thought I was getting. An 18.5 lb. hunk-o-meat.
Anything different than smoking butts? Maybe trim a bit (normally don’t do that on butts, only on packer cut briskets)? Or any ideas on unique prep/cooking?
I do both the exact same way. Often I will cut the skin/fat off, rub underneath, and then cook with it back in place. 18 lbs...mmmm. That's an all day (or all night and half the morning) smoke. Must have come off a nice sized hog. (I love to get a whole picnic, which is both the shoulder and the butt. Invite a crowd after COVID passes and have fun with that one day.)

me too, c'est la meme chose pretty much. They're both cut from the shoulder.
