If you think smoking anything is hard work, then you're doing it wrong. Smoking is pretty easy and effort free. I put more effort into chopping veggies than I do smoking something.

No but I'm not adding another 2 hours to my cooking time for my gumbo.

Good things are worth waiting for. I cook my spaghetti for 4 hours. I smoke pork butt for jambalaya. It's just worth it. And your previous post didn't comment on time. You said it was a lot of damn work for gumbo. If you're doing it right, gumbo ain't a quick thing.

My grandmother used to do a mean pork short rib jambalaya.

Just got home and the butt is cooked nicely. I put it in the crockpot, added half a Terrapin Recreation Ale,a cup of white and Crystal Extra Hot.
All done. I can make the Jamba tomorrow night.

yes, pork temple meat is pretty standard for a Gonzales Jambalaya
Posted on 9/26/13 at 8:05 pm to Tigertown in ATL
Yes - but only temple meat

Yep. My main jamb is pork and sausage. I use temple meat. I usually boil two or three chicken legs to make some stock and I'll pick the chicken off of those and throw in the pot.

Cube it up. I would never "shred" meat for a jambalaya, that just kinda sounds like a big mush once it would cook. Jambalaya should have nice chunks/pieces of meat that the rice (medium grain of course) can stick to.

I cube up a nice fatty butt....then I cook it really really really brown, till the fat taste like crackling....I don't like chicken with it, so I just use good pork butt and a good smoky local sausage, or rabideauxs if I haven't driven by any good meat shops.

I thought I was the only one who didn't like chicken in jambalaya.
I also use only a butt and smoked sausage.

I'm not a fan of chicken in jambalaya either. Pork and sausage only.
