Rasta do you inject your pork shoulders? 

No normally do the same as the brisket. Perforate and soak in a juice bath overnight.  Never had any problems with pork, bone cokes right out and always falls apart.

Hmmm.  I’ve never soaked brisket or pork.  Worth the try?   What do you soak it in ???  Sugary stuff like cherry coke or Dr Pepper?

Typically cranberry/black cherry juice.  Yes I’ve done it every time I’ve smoked a brisket or pork butt.

I’ll have to read up on that and try.  Can you over soak/brine?

I've never soaked a brisket or shoulder either...sounds interesting.  I'll definitely try it with a shoulder, but am hesitant to try it with brisket as I have my recipe locked...not saying soaking it won't be amazing, more just I like what I like and brisket is like sacred....LOL

Doing pulled ham for a guy this weekend for easter.  If you haven't done it I HIGHLY recommend it.  I actually like it better than pulled pork.  My reciepe for that is I make my own pork rub and apply it (I don't use binders), smoke until about 165 - 170 then pull it and put it in an aluminum pan and then pour apple juice over the hams and enough to fill the bottom of the pan, I also spritz it with Spritz King, then cover the pan with aluminum foil and then put it back on the smoker until it hit about 209 and then pulled it and let it rest in the turned off oven covered for about an hour.  When I pulled it, it just fell apart...pretty much 99% of the fat had rendered and it was all meat...my kid said it was like ham butter.  This was the finished product.

Fire meal! 
 

if you like horseradish look into a restaurant called st Elmo’s in Indianapolis.   They ship via Amazon.    Looks like maybe a horseradish dipping sauce there.

It’s actually a homemade blue cheese for the veggies. Don’t do any dipping with my steaks.
 

 But I grew up an hour south of Indianapolis and am very familiar with Elmo’s.

Awesome boss.  Enjoy.  Blue cheese is great too.   I don’t dip steaks per se in anything either…. But from time to time I’ll make fillet sandwiches which I do like the horseradish on.

Trying a smoked mac and cheese for Monday. One will have some spice and jalapeño… the other tempered for the Dutch lineage on the wife’s side that doesn’t do heat.

Insert catchy tagline here.

When I was on the road I stopped at A BBQ joint in Iowa of all places and they had Smoked jalapeño cream corn. This was fabulous. I've tried with reasonable success to duplicate it, but I'm still trying to dial it in.

I used cream cheese and a little bit of Italian sweet cream creamer. I season with Heath Riles garlic jalapeño rub. The jalapeño peppers are toned down with the cream cheese so don't be afraid to use a bunch.

One of my favorites is.   Now you reminded me of it.  
 

take cream cheese.  Season with rub.  Sometimes put cheddar in.  
 

get large jalepenos.  Slice in half.  Cut out seeds / vein if you don’t like heat.   
 

stuff with cream cheese stuff.
 

add a small shrimp.  Let’s say  26-30…
 

wrap.  I like center cut lean bacon so it cooks.  But wrap with bacon.   Pro tip try not to over lap the bacon or it’s a little rubbery.    
 

smoke or grill on low low heat.   If I smoke I finish on low direct heat to crisp the bacon.
