This is the best pulled pork I've ever smoked --- or tasted. Seriously.
Ordered the shoulder from Snake River Farms.
Just rubbed it with some basic rub I mixed in a jar. Nothing fancy; no injections or such.
Used hickory (of course).
Lots of pics:

These shots look like I added some sauce -- but, I didn't... that's how moist it was pulled...

WOW! I'll PM you my address! Please send me some! How many pounds was it and how much?
Snelly, it was 20# and it was 50-something bucks - but 80ish with shipping...
Expensive for shoulder, but $4/lb delivered ain't bad --- not for this stuff...
D@MN! That rocks, dude!
The full steam table pans give a sense of scale..
I really don't know what to say.
Serious, that looks just like pig candy.
I have looked at this work of art about 6 times and

And I mean Hard Rock.
I price them at Pete's and with shipping from Snake River it beat Pete's by $3 lb.
Looks awesome Hal :)
I have found that the Berkshire pork is better even for pulled pork.
That is a great deal for Berkshire. I have paid more per lb. for a smaller one locally.
Man that does look great! You know most of us have little problem spending $4 a pound for a choice brisket and most of us enjoy pulled pork just as much. Yes normally pork should be cheaper but thats just because it is. I will definitely consider this the next time I have a special...or not so special event coming up!

That's the thing! We're just used to getting pork
dirt cheap...
But, hey,
$4/lb is cheaper than Cheetos!
After looking at this post of yours and the post of BLSH on the Wagyu
Brisket, these two things are going to be done for MY B-Day!

I might have to get Squirt one of those briskets when his birthday rolls around (so I can help him eat it!)
God gives everyone special talents, and apparently, one of mine is
destroying brisket... ;)
Great job on that shoulder, but next time don't doctor up those pics so much, you're making me hungry.

I borrowed a DSLR with a WASJL

wide-angle super-juicy lens) ;D
Awesome!!!! Beautiful job. If I keep looking at your pork shoulder and BLSH Wagyu brisket, my grocery meat purchases are going to skyrocket.

HS, I'm going to send you ALL the LEFTOVERS!
Looks awesome! I have never seen a more perfect looking version of pulled pork. Has me drooling just looking at it. Those are pics to fame and hang on the wall.
Just saw this today Hal. OMG! :o :o That is totally off the hook. Nice bottle of Starne's sitting next to it too. My brisket, St L. ribs and butts are supposed to arrive tomorrow. After seeing your success, I'm even more excited to know they're on the way.
Nice job Hal.

Iff'ns I was ever on a raid of your house, not too sure what I'd choose to take, the Stumps, the luscious pork, or that sexy car!

Take the Porsche. I

Good call Hal!!
Hal4UK,
Can you give me some info on that smoker. I am looking for a new smoker and like the looks of that one. An info would be appreciated.

Mine is the "Stretch Model". They're not
cheap, and the Stretch has gone up $400 since I bought mine.
BUT, it's a
very good smoker.
Worth every last penny.
If I catch you stealing my car, I'll call the police.
If I catch you stealing my Stump's... I'll make a
canoe out of your skull. 8)
Damn hal4uk,
That is awesome, I can almost taste that. My son is coming home tonight from school and I believe I will have to smoke a shoulder.
Hey thanks for the link.
Thanks SS.... That Berkshire pork is really very well marbled and extremely flavorful.
