On Saturday I decided to try and smoke my first pork shoulder. I put it on at 11 am with a pork rub and a tray of mesquite chips on top of the burners. I set the temp to 300 degrees and sat back with a book and a spicy drink.

At 3, I lifted the lid, took the temps at 175 to 185 and wrapped the shoulder to keep the juices in.

I added a spicy margarita to get ready for tacos.

At 5 pm the shoulder measured between 200-205 so I turned off the heat and let it sit for an hour.

After another hour I easily pulled the bone and shredded the meat. Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Looking good!! My kind of meal for sure.
I appreciate the attention to the adult beverages...very important.
I would recommend a cook to your taco shells....maybe you did but they look raw in the picture.
You can do it many different ways, you wont turn back after you try it I swear.......check my listing, many of them are tacos!

I usually go frying pan with a small amount of lube.....if you check my listings you will see the edges have a crisp to them and we find that really tasty.
But, a quick bit over a fire on the performer gives them lots of colour too.

This was my last taco post, about a week and a half ago I think....lots of other things cooking in that post but the tacos are about half way down.

Mexican for the week and super short skirt tacos!!

Throwing a few things together today for tonight and for a couple mid week meals. Everything I am making deserves cilantro, but the MRS hates it a lot, so I just add to my dish when eating, I have a nice fresh bunch for this week already. First off I am making a verde sauce. This is for Tuesday...
