Hello

[Scott.Trebble]

Hi all  :-)
  Just bought a new Bradley this weekend !!. I was tempted by a Weber smoker .. but I'm lazy  :-)  
  Did a 3.5kg pork shoulder, marinated overnight with the usual, as well as a couple rack of ribs ... had lots of space  and added a chicken breast mainated in the Houi Sin sauce....  mmm..
Pulled the chicken after about 4 hrs.  yummy  The ribs had to come off after about 6 houurs.  I bagged 'em an froze 'em to use for another recipe.  I'll try a stickey recipe in the oven for them.  The large shoulder was kinda my main concern.  I got it up to a max about 175. The plan now is to save whatever for a large meal ... then warm it up in a crock-pot  <b></b>

<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">Scott it sounds like the shoulder barely got out of rendering at 175.  You are correct it might need the crock-pot to make it tender.  Next time shoot for about 185-187 and do the FTC thing and it will pull great.  However 175-180 will give you the slicable version of things if you like it that way.  Welcome to the forum and don't be a stranger around these parts...

Welcome, thats quite a variety of meat for a first smoke. It sounds like you've done some home work.

Welcome, Scot--you're definitely the adventurous type, so please keep us posted on your smokes!  I agree that the should will be OK for slicing, but a couple hours in the crock pot should make it fall apart if you like it that way (which I do).  Good luck!
