Feliz Navidad

[redm18]

My family has decided to do a Mexican themed Christmas this year and I have volunteered to bring the smoked meat for tacos and burritos or what not. I figured I would smoke the meat this weekend and then freeze and thaw and heat in crockpots for Christmas dinner. I have one of those long cryovaced pork loins and some chuckies I’m going to shred. I will be smoking in my two weber kettles using the snake method. Any suggestions for rubs and cooking methods?

Pork loin is really lean and to my knowledge doesn't shred easily. You be better off with a pork butt and the chuckies.

I tried using the same spices I use in Carnitas on a pork butt once, but it didn't turn out as I expected. All I could taste was the cumin.

I have read some people smoke the chuckies plain and then mix taco seasoning in with it. I prefer Pepper Stout Beef.
