Oops. Just posted my own thread on ox cheek. How were they? Did you cook in the dish?

Smoked uncovered for a couple of hours - then into a foil tray and beef stock for a couple more (still uncovered) - then 2 more hours covered
Delicious with creamy mash - one cheek served the wife and I - we have another left for another day

Looks great Chris. Saw the pics on Twitter too and instantly got hungry.

Re: Pork Shoulder and Ox Cheeks
OK. Sounds good. Gues the stock helps keep them moist. Are they fatty or lean? I'm assuming a bit fatty with lots of connective tissue.
