Is lookin for wood to cook with.
Just recently got an 18WSM.. Have never smoked a thing in my life.. And based on recommendations to use a fatty as the 1st smoke, I went with a Picnic shoulder for pulled pork. Used Western lump coal with Apple wood for smoke. Here's my progress in pictures.
Here's it is rubbed with something called Pork Twang. Got it from the Restaurant Store.
In the WSM, fat side up. I sliced the skin to try and get some rub through the fat.
1.5 hours in the smoke.. Sprayed with a bit of Apple Juice and Cider Vinegar.
4.5 hours in...
At 165 f. Temp was still going up, but I pulled it to wrap it.
Added the AJ/Cide vinegar from my spray bottle and some brown sugar to be wrapped in.
It's wrapped and back on the smoker.. When I put the temp prob back in, it was showing 170f
Checking my temp prob, the internal temp is at 199F. I'm guessing I can pull any time now, but I'm going to leave it till it hits 203. Then I'm going to let it rest for an hour or so before pulling.
It's looking like it's going to be a 10hr cook from the time it went into the smoker till it his about 205. The shoulder was 10 lbs.
So tell me what I did wrong and right.. What are your thoughts?
Thanks!
