Decided to cook a shoulder today since it is so nice outside.

The rub consists of:
Salt
Black Pepper
Red Pepper flakes
Ground red pepper
Granulated Garlic
New Mexico Chile powder
Cumin

Just pulled it off the UDS, smells gooooood!
 
Looks good!! With that rub ingredient list, I'm thinking that the finished product might be good shredded up and stuffed into some tacos/burritos... :tongue:
 
Sounds like an awesome rub flavor profile. I like it zesty!
 
Looks just right to me. I don't understand why people worry about dark color on a pork butt/shoulder when it's gonna get pulled and mixed together anyways. That dark tasty bark is the best kind. The mixture of the dark bark, light n dark pork meat and pink smoke ring creates a visually appealing image, and it tastes good too.
 
I kinda feel silly asking, but I am going to ask because I don't know. It looks like the skin is still on? Is it edible?
 
The skin is still on! I don't bother but it can make for some good eats if you toss it back on the cooker for a while after you pull it to crisp up into some tasty "cracklin'"
