My salute to 1Buckie

[Chasing_smoke]

After a few months of hanging around this joint, I wanted to do a cook with a few recipes I have seen here.

First up on the menu is pork shoulder. I did this different as I was inspired to try a brine for the first time. It was brined in kosher salt, apple cider vinegar and a little sugar.  I did a quick brush of mustard and rub down after it dried off.

While it was setting up with the rub I fixed up Betty my red performer for the cook. Snake method with hickory chunks, as in true buckie fashion! 



Next went in the drip beans using Buckie's recipe. Bush's honey baked beans with onions, red, yellow and orange peppers. A big dollop of honey and it was ready to go. Snake started counterclockwise to keep from going into the future.





Here's the main attraction hitting the grate with the thermometer probes setup. It went on at 9:45am.



After a few hours somebody got hungry smelling the pork cooking...

I can haz pork please???



Next up on the menu was deep fried potato salad another buckie specialty.

Oil is ready for potatoes



Here's some taters having a nice relaxing bath in hot oil.



Sorry I didn't take a final photo all put together but it was: potatoes, onion, celery, bread and butter pickles, bacon bits, ranch dressing, a bit of mayo, some diced jalapeño, garlic powder, Mrs. Dash table blend and a bit if salt. If you haven't tried this your missing something in your life!

After about 7 hours I wrapped the shoulder and pulled the beans. I thought I lost the beans since there wasn't a ton of sauce left. The edges were lost but all turned out great!



The shoulder was ready at 7:00pm. I let it rest awhile.



Great smoke ring, pulled off the bone perfectly.


Final result



So to my hero Buckie this one is for you! Thanks for your vast knowledge and willingness to help others. I'm going to go put some dead on the radio and relax with a full belly.

Great looking cook. I know Buckie has the recipes here somewhere. I'm not good at searches... I see those beans and tator salad and tell myself, they are a must. Again, nice job.

EXCELLENT!!!! Nicely done, Smoke...Nicely done indeed!! Great call on the tribute to the Weber Ninja (as he is known to the KG Clan!). What's the pups name?

Thanks everyone!

The dog is my 75lb Basset hound who thinks she's a lap dog. Her name is Emma and she's a doll. Goofy as hell too. My son used to ride on her back when he was a younger lad. I have two knucklehead pups that are Dad's girls. I jokingly yell at them all day long, no barking in the kitchen, no wagging tails in the kitchen, no breathing in the kitchen, anything they are doing really lol. They just come up and want to play when I tell them that. Emma rolls on her back all the time and then looks up like hey are you going to pet me or what?!
