Got these going with some marinade in the afternoon. After a few hours I put my rub on them and prepped the Performer. Did a smoke with some hickory until about 220 then seared. Pulled them at about 148. Had a delicious salad and fresh bread. Cheers to all the Moms!

Tacos are always the answer and tonight was no different. Sliced some leftover belly and into the CI it went!Kept things simple with a quick saladAssembled with some perfectly balanced jalapeños and some green onions. Cheers!
I’ve had good luck with chucks. I wrap late, around 175, and pull them around 190 for rest before slicing. I like mine sliced not pulled. Then taco 🌮 time with the leftovers!
