    Forgot to Salt the Pork Shoulder

    Not only did I not get a chance to dry brine as I normally do I did not apply salt when I applied the rub. It's been smoking over night and is about to enter the stall. I don't plan to wrap but need to decide if I should salt the exterior now or add salt to taste as I pull the pork. What would you do?

    Salt to taste. Always a sure bet.

      Plus 1. Salt to taste later.

    Salt to taste. I even sprinkle in a little rub to the pulled pork on occasion.

      I've heard of doing this, but never thought to try it. But then again, I sauce my pulled pork so I add flavor and seasoning that way.

      If memory serves me well Frozen Smoke never added rub on his butts before smoking and only added to the pulled pork afterwards. 
      I do rub mine before smoking but add a bit more after pulling and I believe it makes a big difference to the end products taste.

    That sounds like a good dilemma. Salt to taste.
    BTW is you add a little salt to your beer you will get a little head. Hence the phrase, "What do you want, a little salt in your beer?".

      Don't forget to sprinkle some on your napkin / coaster. It'll keep them from sticking to the bottom of the glass / can.

      Somebody once asked me if I was superstitious when they saw me sprinkling salt on the napkin, HawkerXP. The more you know...

      Used to sling beer in a men's room every table had a salt shaker on it for the old timers drinking draft....spritz of salt, tap the rim with the shaker, down the hatch....
      No lime in a Corona back then, men were men, woman were women, a darn good arrangement

              I might be reading this wrong, but I think folks are telling you to throw salt over your shoulder.

                tbob4 And I thought this site was all about bringing in science and getting rid of superstition!

              Are you adding any sauce, onions, peepers, etc? If so, you might find that no salt is needed so I agree with everyone else.

                I'll probably add sauce to some of it.
