Got up @ 3:00 am in the morning and got the WSM going. All I have is this pic of the picnic shoulder with my rub. Waiting for my temp to hit 250. More pics to follow later....

Tony, I'm watching you..... was looking at picnic's the other day. Need to see how this cook looks.....keep posting, and a big Thanks!
 
Picnics make for a great cook Al. Just cook them like a butt. Looking forward to your pics Tony.
 
Wondered what the end result meat texture was, so you pull it like pork?

It seems to have a better texture in my opinion. I imagine because more bones? Not sure but there are really good. I pull them like a pork butt. You should do one and see what you think.
 
Good luck Tony! I'm sure it will be great. My wife is from Central America and she does picnic Puerto Rican style - called Pernil. Basically lots of garlic and high heat to the 170's - 180's. Making sure to get the cap crisp for chicharrones. Looking forward to pics!

I'm interested in this Pernil... I will research it unless you have a link I can use...
 
Awesome! I was debating getting a picnic and doing one (on sale), interested to see how it turns out!
