Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion

I've had pulled pork off of neighbors' pellet smokers, it's definitely good. No way I'd say it's any better than what I get off my old school smoker. I actually think mine is better, but that's likely ego driven. The difference is pretty negligible.
So I anticipate having quite a bit of leftover smoked pork shoulder over the next couple of months, what are your favorite pork shoulder recipes beyond serving it with BBQ sauce?
I did Cuban wraps that turned out pretty good, what do y'all got?

I'll bet you could make a pretty good batch of white bean chili with smoked pork.
I've about had it with you and your white beans.
Pulled Pork Nachos!! Warm up pulled pork, layer plate with tortilla chips, spread pork over chips, add shredded cheese, Put in oven (broiler) until cheese melts, spread BBQ sauce over too, and enjoy!!
Someone already said nachos and I second that. My wife makes a pulled pork enchilada that is muy bien! When we do butts, I will fill the smoker up ~6 butts, finish them in the oven overnight, pull them the next morning (while putting the liquid in the fridge to congeal, then skim the fat.....literally liquid smoked pork in a jelly form) and put them in freezer bags to freeze along with the gelatinous juices. That way we can have pulled pork anytime we want and it heats up very easily.
I also from time to time take the leftover pork and put it in my beans as well.

I feel like smoked pork fat and smoked brisket fat is what meals in heaven are made from
For some reason I thought it was 4-14-20. Turned out excellent will add some apple juice and some BBQ rub when it goes into the crock pot.
I love pulled pork and nachos but pulled pork nachos does nothing for me.
I’m a huge fan of Smokey d’s pulled pork nachos. Never done it myself. Is there anything specific you do? Recipe? I’ve also been wondering if there is a good smoked pork carnitas recipe out there lately.
The work is in the pulled pork (like 98% of the dish). Get the pork right and the rest is easy (put it on chips, add the cheese, and whatever toppings you want and you’re set).
Lots of pulled pork recipes out there (not all require a smoker). Find a seasoning / flavor profile you like and go from there. Pulled pork is pretty hard to mess up (you have to over cook it to get it to fall apart).
Your end result is directly proportional to the effort you put in to making the meat.
Pulled pork breakfast tacos have been happening at my house recently. Eggs scrambled in with some pulled pork, then placed on a toasted corn tortilla and topped with chives, cilantro, shredded cheese, and hot sauce.
This so true! You want pulled pork, not ripped apart pulled pork. 200 degrees is a must and let it rest for a 30-60 minutes. I can usually use a fork to pull it and all the fat has rendered down on the inside.
I know some people like the bark and some don't. I will usually put a water bath in when smoking.
Trying brisket for the first time this weekend. Got some butcher paper and pecan wood chips, following this recipe in the video. Wish me luck
12 pound brisket before trimming. Going to get it on the smoker by 6 AM; smoking at 250, should this hit 200 by 6 PM?
