Odd rib cut from darts farm
I keep trying to dial in this cut, I'm told it's a rib shoulder? it's particularly difficult as the top half is lean muscle and the bottom half full of collagen so to break down the collagen without drying out the lean has proved challenging. With this attempt it's; smoked to 160f Texas crutch to 190f then an overnight hold at 145f
Lovely flavour but I still think it needs more work as the top was good but I was just short of meat jelly on the bottom half.
Any ideas let me know

Has anyone noticed lately Sainsbury's has been selling pork shoulder with a bit of fat from some other part of the pig stuck on top this fat doesn't render like shoulder fat and is just placed on top. This has to violate trade descriptions. Anyone know why they'd do this it seams to be with every pork shoulder I've bought from there for at least a year and it really ruins the flavour and what happened to all the pork shoulder fat?

Tried the Bar A BBQ method
So do those who don't know this method you pile logs on top of match light charcoal and just let it burn giving you 4-8 cold smoking before you finish with a hot smoke
Alleged benefits are
Amazing flavour
Up to 8h hands free BBQ to catch some sleep
And a darker bark
So it started off well I had to adjust my vents and door to stop the fire running away but it eventually peaked around 170 ( a good cold smoking temperature) and ran around 5h before i started to add wood and start the hot smoke
Results
The bark is very dark and I did enjoy the flavour I have tried cold to hot smoking before and it does give a lot of richer smoke flavour. Unfortunately for me there was that hint of lighter fluid which did bring back some nostalgia of instant BBQs on the beach in my younger days so not incredibly unpleasant but does rule out me using this method again
So what went wrong
Well this could have been a variety of factors UK match light may just use more lighter fluid then the American version or perhaps not having my vents dialed in from the start affected the cook, Iay just be sensitive to the taste of lighter fuel
Recommendations
One Ill definitely try again but this time I'll use a chimney to light the charcoal as I do fail to see the benefits of the instant light brickets
