7.5 pound picnic shoulder

These photo albums are not easy to do. I would have thought there would be lots of comments by this morning! I am working hard here! Someone please say something!

LMAO!

Hey, it's early yet<insert smiley thingy> Nice job on the pics- they're not so dark that you can't see clearly. Question. I see you put your meat closer to the woodbox, I've always tried to put the meat as high up in the smoker as I can without touching the top, thinking that most of the smoke will be up there. Have you tried both ways, and what were your results? Thanks in advance-

That's low & slow, looks great. Reason for so few responses is your format requires comments instead of response tab at bottom. Took me awhile to figure it out. Also, when people open your post they cannot see these comments like they can responses.

"Something" Now, are ya happy neighbor? KIDDING! Your's looks a lot like mine do when they come out (i.e., "This is going to be like eating boot-leather!"). Never had a bad butt yet!

Good job!

OK then! Thanks all. No negatives so far.

GratefulB, I have tried it all different ways you can think of in lots of different combinations in that good ole 008 Smokette. I don't thnk you could do a butt wrong in it unless you was trying real hard to.

LJ, I agree.

Thanks. I like to shred the meat kinda coarse with my fingers and anyone else's I can borrow at the time, and cut the bark up smaller with meat scissors. My son (16) wants his own smokette. I would get him one if I thought his Mother wouldn't enjoy it also!!!

I am still eating on this one today. It just turned out to be extra yummy and gets better the longer it sits in the fridge. Wife is having to bring home more buns and slaw!

LOL

I take it the boys Mother isn't your wife?

hehehe

that would be correct

Have you tried making your own slaw? I really don't care for KFC unless that's the only thing to eat.. but I DO like their slaw.

There is a website called Secret Recipes.. or something like that. Some good, some great cones of items found in resturants we might all know. Well, one of the clones I found was KFC's slaw.. every time I make it.. the guests LOVE it..

The ONLY thang I like from KFC is the slaw, and I would just as soon stop by and purchase a large tub of it than to go to all the trouble of grating cabbage and carrots and making it myself. I have seen that website, very cool.

Thanks.

Thanks a bunch, Dan and Dennis!

The Mrs has used that recipe for years, modified just a tad. Dynamite stuff

Yep. I only eat it on BBQ sammiches. I don't really cotton to it much by itself. I would soon have green veggies or salad.
