More Picnics

[phattony]

I was going to try to pick up a butt to smoke for the office Christmas lunch, but the butcher was out of them. I decided to go with 2 picnics for the smoke.
I started by injecting these with a mix of apple and pineapple juice and malibu coconut rum. I then smeared with dijon mustard and coated with my rub of Tony Chachere's, chili powder, brown sugar, black pepper, sage, ground cloves, thyme, and cumin.
I put them in the smoker now, and I plan on checking several times throughout the night.
I filled a small pan on the lower rack with apple juice and water mixture, and a few quartered onions.
I've slow cooked a few whole hogs with this combination and it turned out amazing.
I will post a few pictures in the morning of the completed cook.
Wish me luck

Maybe boneless picnics? Not sure, but certainly don't favor the picnics we get at home

 

[phattony]

An interesting injection with the malibu added... does the coconut flavor come thru at all?

All the flavors mix nicely. You can definitely taste the coconut
