The best before date on a smoked pork picnic shoulder means that the meat is optimal if you cook and eat it before this date. Once that date passes, the meat can lose its freshness and not be at its best.
Most smoked shoulder picnic hams are already fully cooked. They only require reheating. To cook a raw one, it is best to cook it to a proper (measured) internal temperature, or, alternatively, by time proportional to weight. There are tips galore at cooking websites. Remove all wrappings. Put in pan, cover, and cook at 325°F for approximately 30 minutes per pound until product center reaches 160°F.
A sealed smoked picnic ham can last in the refrigerator for about 1 to 2 weeks. If it is opened, it should be consumed within 3 to 5 days for the best quality. Always check for any signs of spoilage, such as off smells or discoloration, before consuming. For longer storage, consider freezing it, which can extend its shelf life for several months.
Depends on if this is bone in or boneless.... A 16.5 pound boneless pork shoulder smoked or grilled using an indirect method at 225 to 250 degrees should take about 12 hours. Reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees and remove. Cover loosely with foil and let rest for about 30 minutes.... Will continue to cook to about 165 degrees. This allows the internal juices to get back to the middle!!! Bone in will take a little less time - around 10 hours.... Cook slow and long for best results!!!!! DeliDave
Chemdog is the best I've smoked.

There continues to be feuding in the Southern United States over which part of the hog is best for making pork. Typically this debate is over using the entire hog or just the shoulder. Of course this debate is something of an apple versus orange argument. A whole hog is prepared very differently from the shoulder and typically for other reasons. My main concern here is with the shoulder. If you are interested in going whole hog there is a different process for you.
The best way to cook a London broil shoulder is to marinate it for several hours, then sear it on high heat for a few minutes on each side before finishing it in the oven at a lower temperature until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Let it rest before slicing and serving.
Old Montreal is an area that is best explored on foot so that would be one of the best places for a picnic. Parc du Mont Royale is a well known destination.
No. The best way to test clean is to be what you wish to be.
Making circles with the arms is best described as a dynamic stretching exercise that helps to improve shoulder mobility and flexibility. It can also help to warm up the shoulder joint and surrounding muscles before engaging in physical activity.
