Today we’re firing up the LSG El Fuego Trio https://lonestargrillz.com/ for a low and slow session with a 9lb pork shoulder. I’m running pure Hickory for that deep, classic smoke flavor and seasoning this roast with a powerful combo of 7 Medley Sins: Gluttony and Greed. https://7medleysins.com/?srsltid=AfmBOopzaj8ETzWpNeypan78_WMdTEJGeGz558ryK3GEuSktNM3U7J53 I ran El Fuego Trio using, "Offset Smoker Mode" and it ran very stable low n slow temps for 5 hours until I pulled the shoulder for wrapping. I then put the wrapped butt back in the pit and fired up the pellet side to finish the cook.
After 8 hours and 40 minutes on the pit, the results speak for themselves—incredibly tender, pull-apart pork that’s dripping with juice. Whether you're a seasoned pitmaster or just starting out, this cook shows exactly what the El Fuego Trio can do when you dial it in. And YES! This cook tasted as good as an offset smoker!
