    My first pork shoulder for pulled pork with Qview

    Was in a little rush for the party and didn't have time to finalize the post. Total smoke time was 10.5 hours. Both butts finished very close to each other at 205. Pork was very good but definitely a little light on smoke flavor, but still delicious and moist. Towelled and in cooler for about an...

    I agree, thanks for reminding me. I had to look one las time to put the beans on. I will leave it undisturbed now til 205. Internal temp is about 190 on both.

    Probed again and at 6 hours and temp of both butts are 180. Looks like whatever was wrong with my maverick food probe fixed itself. It is reading 180 in the large butt which matches what the manual meat thermometer (that I ran out and purchased) reads. All is well. Will post some more butt pics...

    Thanks Cliff! Took some advice to keep it up around 300. That was the plan, but while it started up there the temps have been slowly drifting down. Right now it is at 265 with all vents fully opened. I can't seem to get it up where I want it. Ummmm maybe I should rephrase that :biggrin:

    Probed both butts at 5 hours and both were about 165. Choosing not to foil. Seems like things are going along just fine. Dutch's beans will go on at noon for 3 hours

    Thanks Tropics! The smoker is working great! I have run into my first issue which is a temp probe. I have a Maverick probe. From my two previous smokes, I know the lid temp on my WSM reads about 20 degrees lower than the surface temp where the maverick probe is. It's a pain to run the probe...

    My first pork shoulder for pulled pork with Qview

    Here is a pic of my set up in action. I will post pics of the butts when I probe the meat later. So here is my first question: I have only run the smoker at lower temps and for shorter periods. At higher temps and for a much longer smoke, will I need to add fuel later? I did a full ring on the...

    My first pork shoulder for pulled pork with Qview

    Woke up at 4am, had everything prepped and ready to roll so the butts went on the smoker by 4:30. Wasn't quick enough to snap off pics as they went on. I took the suggestions from Md and Ace and try to run at about 300. Right now it is running at 302. So far so good except for the slight burn...
