Berkshire (Kurobuta) Pork Shoulder

[hal4uk]

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...




Money shot for KyNOLA:

WOW!  I'll PM you my address!  Please send me some!  How many pounds was it and how much?

[hal4uk]

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

D@MN!  That rocks, dude!
   

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.

Awesome!!!! Beautiful job.  If I keep looking at your pork shoulder and BLSH Wagyu brisket, my grocery meat purchases are going to skyrocket.
