Supposed to be nice here in MN this weekend so I'm planning my first smoke with my Mastebuilt 30" Propane Smoker. It's seasoned and I've purchased a cast iron pan instead of the disk as I witnessed flare ups right away during my season.
My plan is to buy 3 racks of spare ribs and a pork shoulder from Costco. I have applewood chunks and want to try to maintain around 230-250 the whole time. Obviously the shoulder will take longer so I plan on putting that on in the morning and then do the 3-2-1 method on the ribs. I like sauced ribs so I plan on saucing during the last 30 minutes. A couple questions:
1. Is my plan solid or any advice? Am I safe to do both shoulder and ribs?
2. What do people do to freeze the pulled pork? I don't have a vacuum sealer yet.
3. Any estimate on how long the shoulder will take? I know it's always different but ballpark? I think the Costco ones are about 8 pounds.
Any other advice? Can't wait!!!
