Getting started on my 4th of July cook

Starting a full pork shoulder and a brisket tonight, a little disappointed in the shoulder, I thought it would be in the 15 lb range but its only 9 lbs and feels like mostly bone, I hope I dont run out of pulled pork tomorrow.

Tomorrow I have 6 racks of St Louis spares and some pork belly burnt ends to put on. Also planning on some Wampus baked beans and SmokinJons Mac and Cheese, hoping to eat around 4pm tomorrow so hopefully all goes well!

Smoking with about 12 lb of chef select and 3 lbs of pecan

Cool. What are you using as your smoker?

I am running on a LSG mini, this is my third cook on it if you include the seasoning run so still learning a lot!

Nice way to break in the new cooker!

You definitely have a lot of stuff on the menu. If you are worried about running out of pork, just how many are you expecting?

Looks like you are all set

well everything came out pretty good, probably the only thing i would have changed was the ribs came out way over done, I should have never wrapped them. The mini ran like a champ holding at 225 for about 12 hours and then 250 for another 6 after that. the picture of the ribs was pre-wrapped, they looked great at this point, next time I will leave them unwrapped.

Some good looking grub Nick.

Aside from the ribs, it looks like everything came out as you wanted. Nice job!
