1st real test

Lynn invited everyone over for Pulled Pork Sunday for my birthday, 1st extended smoke on the new smoker, got 2 7 1/2 lb pork shoulders, trying a new recipe, gonna inject em'



injected em' Sat afternoon and let em' sit in fridge all day, took em' out of fridge at 8:00, rubbed em' down, and let em' come up to room temp,started the smoker at 10:00, got the temp where I wanted it and threw em in, watched it pretty close for about an hour and looks good, temp staying right where I want it, this is too easy, no more checking it every 1/2 hr, I set alarm for 2:00 and went to sleep, wanted to check again just to make sure temp was holding steady, still looks good so go to sleep and let em' cook

when I woke up, temp still holding steady and looking good



up to temp at noon, took em out to rest for an hour before shredding



Mom, Dawn and little dude, Erik, Bonnie and Wayne, Dennis and Sue and their little dude, Andrea and her boyfriend (sorry I forgot his name again) Shawna and Spud, Heather, Lynn and me all present,

pork turned out good, lots of other good food to be had, this is by far a more pleasant smoking experience, almost seems like cheating, I got all sorts of things I wanna try now, so expect your food to taste smokey whenever you eat at our house.
