    Pork shoulder question

    Doing my first pork shoulder picnic roast in my Bradley smoker this morning. It's been sitting in the fridge for a few hours with a rub on it. Never smoked a whole roast or brisket before, just jerky and sausage.

    This post is not about smokers or rubs or anything like that. I know that no serious BBQ'er would use an electric smoker that burns pressed wood biscuits, but that's what I've got to work with.

    My question is this - I have hickory, mesquite, apple, pecan and maple biscuits. Which one do you think would work best with this pork shoulder?

    I've tried apple and mesquite and I didn't care for it much. My favorite is hickory on a pork shoulder.

      I'd go with hickory or pecan.

        Hickory is tasty. My electric smoker kicks butt. I'm doing baby back ribs today on it. What matters is the end result not how it was made. I'd put my pulled pork up against dang near any traditional smoker.

          It's all a matter of what you like. I'm a mesquite man myself.

            Ask Simek on here what his Dad uses. He is the best wild pig cooker that I know of. I ate a whole lot of his cooked hog last night and you could cut it with a plastic fork and the taste is wonderful.

              I use hickory when I smoke it on the egg. Has always turned out great for me.

                      Apple, Hickory or Maple would be my choices. My brother has a biscuit cooker and I enjoy his easy que when we go visit on weekends and he decides to fire up the Bradley.
