Contents: This is a traditional Mexican Adobo from the Savory Spice Shop that is a mix of garlic, onion, mild green chiles, honey powder, cumin, black pepper and Mexican oregano.

For a 5-6 lb. pork shoulder, I made a marinade by mixing 2 tbsp. Adobo mix with 4 tsp. of smoked sweet Spanish paprika, and then add 3 tbsp. of kosher salt, 2/3 cup red wine vinegar and 2/3 cup olive. Cutup the pork shoulder into man-size chunks and mixed it well with the Adobo mix, and I let it sit in the fridge for 18 hrs. Cooked in a covered D.O. at 225º for 4-½ hrs. Since this was a controlled taste test, no smoke/wood was used. Same procedure as the other 2 taste tests.
Results: Good over all flavor and the meat was ready to pull with ease. I WILL USE THIS ONE AGAIN, BUT Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]LL SMOKE THE MEAT. I rated this Mexican Adobo equal to the Lodo Rojo (Red Mud), both are better than the Caribbean Adobo, according to my guests.

rich..........after you smoke the pork...........how then would you go about this recipe........smoke the pork before marianding......or after?
 
WD, I plan to marinade the pork first, then smoke that sucker dead (I'm mean done). If I wanted to pull it, I'd cut it up in man-size chunks before the marinade. At least I have some options, but cutting it up into man-size chunks really does cutdown the cooking time. I'll let you know my plan, whenever it happens.
