All Smoked , Picnic Shoulder, Mac and Cheese, cast iron cornbread, MC honey Bacon BBQ Rub ( not for PP )

This is one of the bags of rub I received from family of my friend that passed Jan 1st . Here's to you Gregg

7.5 pound pork shoulder picnic, trimmed a little but left on the skin, I am not going to pull for PP, but break into pieces for roasted on plates

All rubbed and rested for 30 minutes while the smoker came to temp, 280/300 deg. with mesquite chunks and hickory chips on a small bed of charcoal to get it started.

After about 2 hours in I sprits about every hour with mix of 250 mil water, 250 mil pineapple juice, 150 white vinegar.
TBS rolling nicely . With this is in its last 3 hours I started to prep up the sides .
The Mac and Ch, I prefried the bacon and the onions. Made my cheese sauce.

Mac is ready to go in so mix up my cornbread ( this is my best recipe for cornbread ) it holds together well and has a nice sweet taste and texture.
I also found a while back a couple little Betty Crocker CI frying pans 6 " for $4.75 each to go with the CI dishes I found before also. These are fun to use.
So mixed up the cornbread , I added chives this time not Jalapenos , that is the green in the mix.

Everybody into the smoker , as it is in the last hour or so. ( I put the mac and ch in for 30 minutes with out the extra layer of cheddar on top )

Brought everything out and let the roast rest for 30 + minutes while set the table and got ready.

Pulled apart and cut up into serving pieces, Stood back while the lady's did up their plates. I heated up the juice from the pan drippings to pour over the roast , it was great .

Well this was a good meal, and the Meat Church from my friend was very nice . I could have even went heavier on the rub for me , Not the ladies ( my god they are hard to please but easy to love , ha ha )
The mac and ch was very good , but my last one with the topping of Mozza instead of cheddar was a little better as I am a Mozza nut . :emoji_yum: :emoji_yum:

The cornbread was very good as always .

Shoulder took about 7+ hours to cook

Well folks , hope you made it this far. Sundays supper was a big hit here at a drizzly 3 deg no wind day, waiting for spring.

Most excellent looking cook David. Women folk can be finicky at times, but it's worth the frustrations.

Point for sure

Now that's a feast fit for a king! Great smoke David. I tried making mac and cheese last week. I guess I weird, I love the powdered stuff fixed up a little. I gave it to friend who loved it.

Thanks Brian for the love and the comment

I'm no king for sure , but I am at least # 4 in the house right now . Be # 5 when Monas sister comes back from Florida selling her place there, lol
Thanks it was a great smoke and all collected some smoke even though the M&C and cornbread was in later .

I like the box stuff also, but this is better loaded and smoked. Always nice to pass on to others when you can.
I am sending a couple plates with Monas mom who goes to her sister's ( 96 Years old ) place for 2 days every week to go play Bingo. lol

Everything cook/ smoked really well and as for the MC Honey bacon BBQ rub, it was nice , but like I mentioned I will try it and maybe a little heavier next time. did not know what to expect.

So 1 down and 3 more to try .

Man, does that all look good, I don't need a fork. I'd be diving in head first. Great cook. 👍

It was that indeed, and we can accommodate you and leave the silverware off the table, lol
Hands have been known to be used quite often around here .
