Hobbies Paul’s smoking habit

[Paulluxx]

Going to be chronicling this new hobby of mine, I bought a Traeger Fremont Grill at Costco, was about 600 bucks all things included and man is it going to be worth it.
(Currently installed at my buddies house, but I bought it so it fits in my apartments patio, I’ve learned that my landlord will allow any shenanigans as long as he can partake in said shenanigans, such as brisket)

Tomorrow night comes the pork shoulder

I’ll be there tomorrow. Sorry my RVSP was late.

Fool, you don't understand, you will be the one getting smoked there, this is just Paul's plan to kill and eat all pet mod leaders in order to ban belly drum in hg.

This is super swag

But if you're going to chronicle your smoking (no nicotine) adventures you have to give us a bit more info. What dry rubs are you using? Are you giving it any extra flair once it's out of the smoker with the really terrible squeeze butter stuff or some bbq sauce?

My mouth is watering in anticipation

All in due time, gonna start with mustard as the binder with a simple 1/1 Salt(Kosher) and Pepper(Coarse Grain), Paprika for color.

I`'ve got a few good Barbecue Sauces, my favorite is Dinosaur Barbecue's Sensuous Slathering. I do really like this Soy Sauce based Japanese barbecue sauce I have though.

(Edit: Also Hawaiian rolls, best bread to go with pulled pork)

Thank you, the mafia was already sending me letters, I was getting worried…


Speaking of,

Progress report #1 Hour-3:went to spray on some apple cider vinegar(diluted with water), to keep it from drying out. And this is what it looked like, I can’t even begin to describe how it smelled(I bought a boneless btw, but next time I’m gonna do Bone-In, it provides a better knowledge on when to take it out, because the bone just slides out, but with this it comes down to instinct and timing.)

Enjoy!

Hope you didn’t have to wait too long.

This is the last picture before I wrap it in foil, entering the final stretch.

(when the fat cap splits is when you wrap it, since it’s boneless I have to be more careful when wrapping, dull side on the outside, shiny on the inside)

Speaking of: it’s done, and rested and pulled, I just had a bite, it’s ridiculous. Like well and truly ridiculous, smoky, salty savory.

excuse me while I proceed to have one of the greatest meals of my life.

throughout all of this you didn't mention what wood you're using to smoke it. Applewood? Hickory? Pecan????

It’s a pellet grill, so it uses wooden pellets. I’m using Costco’s Hardwood mix, I did some research and from what I read it’s a great and inexpensive mix. It’s Hickory Oak Cherry and Maple. Provides a very nice smoke taste, and man the smell. Euphoric.

Wasn’t gonna post here until tomorrow when I make the other shoulder. But tonight decided to embrace my heritage(I’m Puerto Rican not Cuban but we also have cubanos and they’re prominent) and make some Cubanos

Pellet mixes are ok and all (and somewhat inexpensive for a pellet grill), but there's nothing that beats straight flavours like apple and hickory IMO, especially for delicate meats like seafood and small game (including poultry).

Homelander without powers would definitely be a food critic

Yeah I plan on attempting other things using straight pellets. Just starting out with the mix.
