I'm prepping bout 42 lbs of pork for smoking/cooking on Monday. This is for My daughter's grad party next Sunday. I have to cook it ahead of time because there just wont be time the day before or the day of.

There are 6 pork shoulders averaging around 8.5 lbs each prior to trimming. I trimmed off most of the fat and removed veins, glands, membranes etc from between the muscles.

I mixed an apple cider based injection with balsamic vinegar and Worcestershire, soy sauce. Then I rubbed on a brown sugar based rub with a variety of seasonings such as paprika, old bay, tex joy, black pepper and such.

Now the 40+ lbs of trimmed, injected and seasoned meat will sit in the fridge until Monday when I will start it at about 7AM.

I'm going to smoke it HEAVY from the start and then gradually transition into just charcoal heat. Shooting for around 12 hours of 225-250 range for the heat.

I'm shooting for 40 lbs of this when I'm done. (a previous effort)

my mouth is watering just looking at that food.

 

[northerndave]

It's on boys!!

Smoking with wild pin cherry wood from behind the house at home here.

Oh, and I did a bunch of block sanding on the chicken last night too. I began some finese work where the tail light bezels fit to the backs of the quarters. And a skin coat of filler at the lead seam area where the roof meets the quarters. It's looking good!

 

[northerndave]

Where's that drool cup?

 

[northerndave]

We pulled it apart and filled (5) 5 quart pails with meat last night and loaded it into the freezer. We'll heat it up next Saturday for my daughter's grad party.

Dear lord Dave, I'm over here dumping Ruddy's BBQ sauce on my computer screen...Just threw my rickety ham sandwich for lunch at the wall.

*I would consider this cruel and unusual punishment*

 

[northerndave]

[roadrunnerman]

you must be expecting alot of people over.

 

[northerndave]

Hard to know what to expect. The poor road runner is on standby until after the party though.
