Anyone have experience with smoking these? I have a Primo XL
How do you recommend smoking (time and temp)?
I used to just grill these on my gasser, over medium until 140-150 degres.
I've slow-baked them dozens of times in a Dutch oven, but I haven't tried smoking them yet. I can't imagine at say 275, they would take more than 75 minutes to smoke to 140 to 150.
I smoke these all the time. You can almost treat them as small hunks of pork butt depending on how close to the shoulder they come from. Put them in the smoke until you see the fat just start to render (at about 155F - 160F) and then boat them in whatever you would typically use for a rib wrap liquid (i.e. butter, molasses, maybe some vinegar or pineapple juice) and then basically braise til tender like butter.
I agree typically they are nothing but slices of pork shoulder. They need low and slow, I tried grilling them a long time ago and nearly had to have dental work done after I finished the chew.
