My mouth is watering like crazy and those oo0's and ahhhh's don't help a bit, Great Job!

@emoneyblue - You shoud try a little dark brown sugar, hickory salt, chipotle powder and pineapple consentrate - slow smoked over a milder wood like southern Georgia pecan or wild cherry. Then after pulling, mix a bit of the same mix into the finished bbq to keep it slightly sweet and salty.

not bad love the finished color. not over smoked

[rldel149]

@CHARLYBRWN134 - "not over smoked" ... that's a matter of taste.. :) It depends on the mood I'm in. A lot of the time on a butt (because it is so thick) I'll go dark. After all, there is so much and by the time it is pulled, the dark is mixed in. On a rib or something thin, you sure can over-do the smoke so that you almost can't taste the meat. But, what made them rather brown and not black is no sugar rub on the outside to burn down to black.

Looks delicious! I soak the pork shoulder in apple juice and onions for at least 24 hours before cooking to give it more flavor. Sprinkle on my own dry rub made from nearly every spice and herb I have. Then I use a Cookshack electric smoker oven for 17 hours with apple wood for the smoking. After pulling it apart I mix it with my BBQ Sauce for Amateurs and voila! -- the best pulled pork sandwich in Silicon Valley! Hope you'll take a look. Thanks for a great video!
