Did a 8lb pork shoulder today for pulled pork. Started yesterday am with it submerged in a brine of apple cider, onion slices, crushed garlic cloves, salt, pepper and brown sugar. Let that marinate for 24 hours. Then, paper towel/blot dry and rubbed with brown sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder and chili powder. She then made friends with my rec-tec smoker. Using char hickory pellets and set to 225 degreees she smoked away for 12 hours, spritzing Apple cider on her at least once an hour until reaching an internal temp of 205. Pulled off and started shredding. The end product? Fucking amazing. I need to remember to do 2 of these at once, because one just doesn’t last more than a few days in this house.

That's AWESOME! Nicely done! Yeah, finding other meat to 'throw on', always makes sense since you're burning the fuel. Two of those, or a rack or two of ribs with 4 hours to go, or even a chicken or two near the end. Rec-Tec? Very Nice I got rid of some of my big ones in a move, and while I have my WSM, I'm pondering a couple, including Rec-Tec. Nice pics!

Yhea. I’m lucky that my RT is only the 300 mini model, so it works great for long little smokes. Eventually I’ll cough up the change for the big brother, the 680. I’ve seen guys do 12 shoulders on that thing.

You know what's funny? A lot of people with larger ones wish they had a smaller one quite often. Less fuel....shorter cook times to reach temp, etc. Also, easier to protect for a winter cook Unless you're doing large groups often, or have a huge family, the smaller ones are awesome. You could easily do two butts on there.... But, you have a good one, and resale on those are good, so you can always move up.

Oh. I’ll never sell the mini lol. I’ll add a 680 next to it. I agree that the mini is perfect for almost everything I want to do, and the ones who have the big 680 also wish they had the 300.

That's the second time today that you've used that word in relation to Dan.

A tip if you do 2 is take leftovers and vacuum seal in personal portion sizes. When you want pulled pork (ribs, chicken or beef) just boil water and toss the sealed meat in the boiling water for a few minutes. It will come out tasting as fresh as the day you made it and moist
