Woooo... nice. Butcher? Homekill? Hunted?
Butcher supplie
Is that some kind of rub on it
Used a new sauce I’m trying called StAndrew apostle sauce. It’s sczechuan, habanero and blueberry.
Sauce goes on, then a generous coating of Traeger prime rub(which I really rate).
Smoking over hickory pellets.
So far it’s looking promising. Only another 8 hours before the rest.

That looks seriously good. What is your choice of BBQ?
I use a Traeger for smoking which this is in and a Weber fear traditional bbqing.
Progress shot, bark is starting to form and a bit of expected shrinkage.

You know sometimes experiments go a bit different to what you expect!
It became clear late afternoon that the shank wouldn’t be ready for tea. So I dropped the temp and left it smoking overnight. Too it off at around 1400 this arvo. Ended up being a bag of pellets and a 29 hour smoke. :wtfsmilie:
Any old hoo, here is the outcome.
Tastes good, but definitely needs an earlier start if it’s to be a cost effective meal.
Back to the drawing board.

Is it tender or did it dry out a bit.
Nah still really moist.
I double wrapped in butchers paper when I dropped the temp.
Pretty damn tender too.
Just not convinced it’s worth doing again.
what liquid did you add when you wrapped it
1/2cup of melted beef tallowQuote:
