Pork Shoulder - Snake method with crackle?

[Nicko_BBQ]

Hi guys,

First time poster, long time lurker! Thanks for the great posts on here, they've really helped me.

I cooked a low and slow pork shoulder yesterday with the snake method and hickory strips (a friend's dad has a sawmill, so these are thin offcuts, worked really well). I had to remove the crackle and finish it in my airfryer as 110C was too low to get it to crackle, my only other thoughts were I could have changed the beads from snake to direct at the end of the cook to get the crackle to do its thing, but obviously that would mean adding extra beads and waiting for the heat to increase?

What do you guys do for crackle with the snake method?

Thanks,

Nick.

To get great crackling after the meat is cooked, simply go over it with a hot air paint stripper Gun, or a Looftlighter, it bubbles up into crispy crackling in a few seconds.
