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!
