Shoulder pulled bbq

[hunter24605]

Finally going to give this a shot. Smoking a whole deer shoulder for pulled bbq. Plan is to season and smoke to about 170, or whenever the bark is set, then wrap in foil and braise with apple juice. Then shred and sauce for pulled bbq sandwiches

Now, that appears to be a most sensible plan! Sorry I haven't tried this before now.

I’ll let you know how it turns out. Although enough Blues Hog sauce and I could probably eat boot leather

Took several hours at 225 to get pull apart tender. But it turned out very good. Not as juicy as pulled pork, but not dry either. I like it lightly sauced so I can taste the meat, smoke and rub, the grandkids like it dripping with sauce. Put on slider buns with pickled onions. In the future I’ll likely grind 1 shoulder and smoke the other rather than grinding both. We will be eating leftovers for a while.
