Smoked Pork Hock/Shank
OK guys, got blessed with company coming on Saturday for supper and with the warm weather I am going to get the smoker going. I picked up a 1/2 pork this week and was thinking about pulling out one of the hocks and trying it in the smoker along with a chicken. Wondering if there is a quick brine or rub that would work well for the Pork Hock/Shank. Most I find are for curing the meat but I do not have the time as just found this out last night. I was thinking of just doing them like I do my ribs but have never done a Pork Hock or even know if it is worth serving. Most people put it in soup or beans but I thought I would throw it out there for you dedicated smokers.
Any help is appreciated and I will make sure that I post pictures when it is all done. The family loves smoker chicken but trying to mix it up. Thanks
