Decided to go with a bit of a foil boat for this pork shoulder. Smoked quite nicely on my Rectec Bullseye Deluxe, using Smokin’ Pecan pellets.
Now I just need to cut the bone out, since my wife wanted a sliceable shoulder and not pulled pork. 🙂

Looks great! How to slice it if it’s super tender like a standard pulled pork? Would also love to see time, temp, wood, type, seasonings, etc if that’s ok. Things you’d recommend? Did you like the foil boating?

Nice. Curious how it comes out as well. Before I knew how to smoke them to make pulled pork, I did semi-low and slow on a gas grill just to get the pork to “done” temp (USDA recommended pork temp). Very sliceable. Nowhere near pulled pork temp. Still tasty though. Just can’t get the seasonings down into the meat like pulled. Only on the outside. Yours looks great.

Cutting the bone out, after smoking to less than pulled-pork temps was a fail. It got it out, but practically ripped the middle of the shoulder out with it. 🙁 Definitely will cut it out, pre-season/cook, the next time. That being said, it’s absolutely delicious, with just the right amount of smoke flavor/penetration. So, that’s a big 👍🏾 for the Smokin’ Pecan pellets.
Produced a great turkey on Thanksgiving, and now a nice, sliceable pork shoulder.
