This year for Christmas my Dad got me a smoker. The day after Christmas we started with a nice brisket. It was real good but didn't quote have enough smoke flavor for me. The next weekend I cooked a pork shoulder with only hickory to have a stronger flavor. It was great. It took much longer to cook but it had juicy and had great flavor. The seven pound shoulder only lasted three days. We had friends over for pork tacos on Monday and ran out of it. Pork shoulder was on sale at Ingles and I almost bought another one yesterday but this weekend I am going to make some ribs. There are tons of different ways to make ribs so I will have to try a few to find out my favorite.
