Love me some pork shoulder growing up in the true south that is a staple... wife however... does not ... Brisket is its..Do pork shoulder.
Yeah, if you're doing a whole one, and you're smoking it. (If you're not, you should move the fuck out of austin texas... But I can help you with braising smaller hunks too)
1. It will take an assload of smoke.
2. Properly seasoned where you are is salt and pepper
3. Dont he afraid to crutch it. You'll need to make sure you're not on your last 15 inches of foil. (Heavy duty actually counts in this game, so pick some up)
We can make any charcoal grill or smoker work here, probably most gas ones.
I didn't read bkbs link, but... That's a great website.
I would go oak here for the wood. (Your other choices are pecan and mesquite, I don't like mesquite)
We are doing this for Thanksgiving. I haven't made it for a couple years. Last time was for my kids spanish class. This is the shit that makes me wish I still had a charcoal smoker. I may borrow the neighbors weber.
