Great....had to leave the cottage unexpectedly this evening and come here.....no food in this house....then I see these pics!
I want to go to bed! Pork shoulder has been in the smoker for almost 15 hours. It takes forever to hit temp.
At 16 hours and at 191 I pulled it off. It was almost 12:30 and we were at risk of falling asleep. Silly little 8 lb shoulder took FOREVER. Starting to wonder if my thermometer (tel-tru) or the onboard thermocouple for the pellet grill are accurate. They both agreed at 225-250 for the whole 16 hours. Meat temp measured with a maverick probe meter. As I pulled it off the grill my finger broke through the bark and it was nicely done. We pulled it apart into chunks and into the fridge for the night. Way too late. Next time I'll start it at 10 pm and have a late lunch.
