<p>Threw 2 shoulders in the Traegar this morning. This time I didn’t put much thought into the seasonings, we’ll see how they turn out.</p>
<ul>
<li>Hot Honey Ham + Perfect Pork (festival) + Jack Daniels on both but was light on the Hot Honey Ham</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>
<p>Pellets: Signature again</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Prediction: this will be just like the June note that I didn’t read before
prepping the meat but sounds like I by default did the same thing with the
seasonings I had and now I have high expectations for dinner!</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Results: as expected, a little dry due to my laziness, but the rubs came out
great! Missing my Holy Gospel from Meat Church though</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h1 id="june-26-2025"><span class="heading-wear-glyph">June 26 2025</span></h1>
<p>I smoked 2 pork shoulders</p>
<ol>
<li>Heavy application of Jack Daniels default pork rub + Meat Church’s the Holy Gospel</li>
<li>Hot Honey Ham + Perfect Pork (festival)</li>
</ol>
<p>They smoked with Traegar’s Signature pellets at 250 until internal temp of 205,
then they rest covered for a few hours, then tear apart…</p>
<p>overall rating:</p>
<p>The Hot Honey Ham + Perfect Pork tasted great. It was not that spicy at all,
good flavor. It ended up being a little dry but this was certainly cause of my
utter lack of attention while the meat is smoking</p>
<h1 id="july-4"><span class="heading-wear-glyph">July 4</span></h1>
<p>We ate the pulled pork today and it was a little dry, though very edible
nonetheless. I think I need to tend to the pork more with something like an
apple juice spray and then covering it in the latter part of the smoke…</p>
<p>As for quantity - 2 pork shoulders (and 1 beef arm roast that I smoked today)
easily fed 4 families (8 adults + 9 kids) and we have plenty left over… like
probably a full pork shoulder’s worth, between all 3 meats.</p>

<ol>
<li>spicy pickles were a good addition</li>
<li>seriously need to tend to the pork more during the smoking, after a second re-heat it’s getting pretty dry</li>
</ol>
