Title: Berkshire Pork Shoulder
Post by: Norm on March 06, 2013, 04:32:29 PM
The weather has finally calmed down enough to use my XL egg. Usually it's in a spot that catches wind and blows ash up on everything so I don't get to use it very often in the winter. Today it's calm and I had a pork shoulder ready to go.

Rubbed down with mustard and a new favorite rub called sweet seduction. I'm going to get some cole slaw going for a topping in just a bit.

That's a nice looking shoulder Norm.

What is special about a berkshire?

There is a certain danger involved in just paging through the "Read Most Recent Posts."  As I was just scrolling down, I see Weekend Sawyer telling Norm "that's a nice shoulder," and I thought, "Norm's taking pictures of his shoulder?  This I gotta see"!  You can imagine my disappointment.   :D

Sorry Roxie even if I did show mine you'd be greatly disappointed!  :D

Jon I get mine from a local producer called Eden Farms their website is www.betterpork.com

It explains it better than I can but I will tell you I do think that certain cuts have better flavor.

The pork shoulder turned out really good.

I'm not happy with how the coleslaw turned out though, kind of bland.

I did have some cheesecake and Bill you're right I'm not going to hold back on what pictures I show.

Costco has a "Sweet Mesquite" one of their Kirkland brands, and I have been using it for a number of years. I am going to try some of those rubs listed in that web site. Thanks for the post, your pork shoulder looks great.

Norm,
Try using some Greek yogurt in your slaw.

Try a chopped chilli pepper in the slaw, it really makes a positive difference.  Actually, I put a chopped chilli in most things.  Just remember to wear gloves when chopping particularly if, like me, you have a urinary frequency problem :(
