Smoked Pork Recipes For Shoulders, Chops and Loins

If ya got a hankerin' for some pork, these smoked pork recipes will surely satisfy your cravings. Pork is known as the "Other White Meat", but not for us smokers. Perfectly smoked pork should have a beautiful pink smoke ring encompassing the surface.

There are lots of pork cuts that can be smoked. Pork loins and tenderloins, shoulders and shanks, fresh hams and picnics, pork chops and steaks; all are great cooked in the meat smoker.

You might even try smoking up a batch of neck bones sometime. I did, and they're pretty tasty. You have to work to eat 'em, but they do taste good! Great for soup, too.

And pork is inexpensive. I just bought a pair on really nice pork shoulder picnics for $1.19 per pound. (time of this writing: August 9, 2008) Granted, it takes $8.00 worth of charcoal to cook 'em, but it's worth it!

(2018 update)
Pork is still one of the best deals at the meat market. I regularly buy whole pork loins for $1.99 per pound, picnic shoulders for $1.49 per pound and just last week I found baby back ribs on sale for only $2.25 per pound. During the Easter sale I purchased a couple of butt portion hams for only 79 cents per pound. Pork seems to be inflation-proof!
