    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...

    My first pork shoulder for pulled pork with Qview

    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.

    My first pork shoulder for pulled pork with Qview

    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...

    My first pork shoulder for pulled pork with Qview

    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:

    My first pork shoulder for pulled pork with Qview

    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

    My first pork shoulder for pulled pork with Qview

    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...

    Thanks Larry and Piney I started a Qview on the pork forum. Prepped and ready for a 3-4am start! The WSM is loaded with lump and wood. I can't figure which one I will want to eat more, the pulled pork or Dutch's beans! Everybody seems to rave about them

    My first pork shoulder for pulled pork with Qview

    Well, you two convinced me. It has to finish by 3-4p so a higher temp should help get it done a little quicker. I'm probably still going to start at 4a and hopefully it should finish around 12 hours or a little earlier.

    My first pork shoulder for pulled pork with Qview

    Thanks Md, Any downside to running at higher temps other than less smoke time? I may try something in between like 275 and maybe a 5am start. I definitely don't run right up to 5p. I want to rest it for an hour or two like you suggested

    Thanks Joe! I don't mind eating my mistakes, but the pressure is on for my first shoulder as there will be a party of 20+ awaiting the pulled pork and Dutch's beans. I hope I don't screw up , if I show up empty handed they might start throwing things
