@Joan I tried something different and used Kosmo's Cow Cover on the brisket. The pork shoulders got a covering of garlic, onion and coarse black pepper; mixed at 2:2:1. Once the pork is pulled I very lightly season it with a homemade seasoning similar to Emeril's Essence that has paprika, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder, cayenne pepper, oregano and thyme.
