Did a SRF shoulder over night on Friday on the WSM. It was pretty good size - weighing in at 19.7 pounds.

It's an interesting cut - They have Kurobuta Berkshire pigs and I think its basically an entire front leg / shoulder -It's the Boston butt, picnic shoulder, fore shank and the pork collar.

all rubbed up, and ready to go:

I put it on Friday night at midnight at 235. I finally scored a couple of bags of the Jealous Devil lump charcoal that folks here rave about. I used a couple of hunks of apple wood as well. It fit just perfectly.

I took a peak the next morning around 8:00 AM ... things appear to be coming along well:

It took about 13 hours - when all was said and done it produced about 11 pounds of pork which we bagged and popped in the freezer. It came out good - We made up some dirty fries. I like the color of these pigs- the dark parks have a much deeper red than the store ones -

That does look like the whole fore quarter from top to bottom. You got lots of good cuts in there. Looks delicious! Which rub did you use? A recipe worth sharing?

I've kind of gone full circle - For shoulders, I'm back to a slightly modified version of the simple Southern Succor Rub from Smoke & Spice for the Renowned Mr. Brown. All I do is add some fennel pollen and ground Morita Chipotle.

Awesome cook Peter! Where are you getting the SRF butts? Mail order?


Yes sir! mail order - they are quick - or you can pick the day you want it to arrive - Thanks for the vid! I was just listening to 51 tears ago today: :)
