He's currently aiming his lasers at your place. Be careful

 

Shit, he does have my address.

 

Started prepping this shoulder clod. Bought one on @Bigdaddy4760 's recommendation. Restaurant Depot happened to have a few Primes this time.





First, it was lightly trimmed. Waayyyy better yield following the trim than a brisket. The grain runs about 14 different ways, so the carving after the cook ought to be interesting.



Then rubbed down with some of that new stuff I've been hearing about.



Maner - reckon I ought to plan on a longer cook than a similarly sized brisket? Seems thicker throughout, but also has a lot of areas of separation that might let it cook faster?

 

Excellent! I think with all the intramuscular fat, it may take longer than similar sized brisket.
17 lbs ish.... hard to guess but From some cooks I've watched on YouTube, which makes me an expert , they seem to run longer cook times.

 

Yes sir it will take longer. That shoulder looks pretty lean 45 - 60 mins a lb. You got any Johnny juice to inject it? Better Ice down the beer this will take a while.

 

Nope no issues. It secures from both ends and unless it’s HUGE there is usually enough space under the tool.

 

Ya I’m looking for something in the 14-18 oz size with a closable lid and a handle. Also need to make sure it isn’t shiny because that messes with the laser process.

Got a couple I’m going to see what kind of deal I can get on.

 

Sounds good

 

Was just thinking I can probably even powder coat them if someone wants a more custom shaker lol.

Putting in a call to one of our suppliers on Monday to see if they can hook us up. Trying to make sure it’s also not the thin metal that bends and dents easy so that they hold up.

 

Heck Ya!! I want custom

 

Man I found a great cup from RTIC that would be great but I need a lid for it.

 

the wine cup?

 

doubles as a beer mug?!
