WHAT YOU'LL NEED: For this cook, you'll need a pellet smoker. I'm using my Louisiana Grills Black Label 1200. Since it is a long cook, I love how easily I can check on its internal temperature with its built-in meat probes and SmokeIT WiFi App. The pellets I used are from Pitmasters Choice Premium Pellets, Gourmet Blend. These Canadian-made pellets burn so beautifully and taste delicious.
