Just completed smoking two pork roasts

[solinvictus]

I've finished a shoulder and a loin roast. The shoulder was cooked about 4 hours, the loin about 3. I used soaked hickory chips and Kingsford charcoal. I also made my own BBQ sauce last night.

Shit! That's one funny pic! Thanks for posting this because I'm gonna send it to a few "Caddyshack" fans I know. I can hear Kenny Loggins singing the song, "I'm alright, don't nobody worry 'bout me..."

4. I made grilled lamb chops...on my mini Weber

covered with sea salt, fresh ground pepper and fresh garlic powder plus a little oil. I trim the fat so there is about 1 mm around. Then I butterfly the chops(which are like little tbones) along the bone to get the large meat side fully cooked. Although they are pinkred on the inside, they are lovely carmelly brown on the outside and the fat is brown like bacon.

Served with Corn on the cob.. I love America and the bounty we enjoy! Let's stop exporting war and just export BBQ.

Happy summer.

5. Pork Roasts

The loin turned out a bit on the dry side, but that's because it's a lean cut with little marbling of fat. The shoulder, however, was like smokey pork butter it came apart so well. It's moist and goes well with the finishing sauce I made last night. Mmmmmmmmmm......

9. yay In Illinois we do ribs alot but not shoulder roasts which I gather is

a Southern thing. Its supposed to just fall apart basically. Personally I like St Louis Ribs which are dirt cheap and have alot of meat on em, ribs are too pricy.

8. Weber 22" kettle grill

We bought it at Target last fall on clearance for $20. It's a trooper and it makes a great smoker as well.

13. I smoked a pork butt

for pulled pork sandwiches for our 4th of July cookout.

Soaked it in brine(kosher salt and brown sugar)overnight and applied a dry rub before cooking. Smoked low and slow (about 10 hours) with charcoal and hickory chips.

Served with different sauces, BBQ, Pineapple Salsa, Horseradish, Chipotle Mayo.

The guests were all impressed, and it was inexpensive to boot!

Tomorrow, I'm doing a turkey breast the same way.

14. Shoulder Roasts

Yep, they're definitely inexpensive. The one I did today was about $1.39/lb or so. Since the shoulder roast has only one bone with little cartilage or fat, there's not much waste either. That's my complaint about pork spare ribs; $3.99+/lb. with better than 50-60% wastage in bones.
