Thanks, guys.

The shoulder was kick ass. Really, really, good, IMO. The rub I used had A LOT more salt than my normal rub, but the end result was still really good and got a thumbs up from everyone at the house today.

The ribs were better than okay, but I expected fall-off-bone-melt-in-mouth-goodness after sitting in the brine overnight. The flavor was good, but they were really sinewy, fibrous, stringy, texture wise. Sorry for the Spinal Tap adjectives, I just haven't figured the rib thing out yet. My ribs are so inconsistent that Im really starting to think that it can't be me. Im going to a butcher next time to make sure have good product to start with.
