A Shoulder to Lean Upon

SirPorkaLot · Mar 21, 2020

In there tough times we all need a shoulder to lean on.

I’ve chosen a whole pork shoulder.

.....

And so it begins!!

21 pounds of whole pork shoulder gonna smoke all night.

The whole shoulder contains both the butt and the picnic cuts.

I ordered it skin-on.

I didn’t trim other than to cut out the veins and glands right in the middle.

Just look at the color of this pork!

I scored the skin in a cross hatch and hit the whole shoulder with a HEAVY coating of coarse sea salt. No other rubs. Just salt and smoke will season the pork for the next 18-20 hours

Fat and skin stay attached and contribute to the flavor of the pork.

Smoker coming up to temp now

Smoker says just shy of 200F, Inkbird says just above.
Time to put the pork in

Bottom temp is ambient temp outside

18-20 hours. That will be just enough time for me to convince my boss that I have to self quarantine and drive up there.
Looking forward to the final product!
