Split a case of 30 lbs. (15 hocks) with a buddy. Used the Ruhlman brine (sans pink salt) again (3+ day soak), and put in WSM for 3-4 hours at 175-200 until 150-155 internal. Sealed in 8" FoodSaver bags.
Hickory/apple blend. One layer of unlit with 1/2 lit chimney to begin. Left vents at 1/4 the whole time--ran very consistently. Fed unlit as needed. Paid $1.60/lb. at a food distributor that will sell to retail. $48 for the whole case, so $3.20 per hock on average. They've been Swift brand the two times I've purchased. Great deal and they eat up amazingly well in a pot of beans or, my favorite, split pea soup. Happy Holidays!
