Am a new member.  Have a new masterbuilt 30" Electric smoker.  In process of smoking a boneless pork picnic shoulder, 3.5 lbs.  It's been in the smoker for over 3.5 Hrs. The internal temp is 155 degrees and the smoker is set for 225.  I want 190 internal temp.  Am I on the right track?
 
Late to the game here, but you're doing fine. Boneless shoulder cuts are compromised muscle, which needs to pass through the danger-zone temps of 40-140* in 4 hours...you've exceeded the recommendation, being over 140* (155) in 3.5 hours instead of 4.

If you're pulling this, you may need to run it up to 200* internal, but for slicing, 190* should give a tender slice.

Be sure to wrap in foil/towels and rest for at least 2 hours before slicing or pulling...this will allow the meat to slowly cool and redistribute the natural juices in the meat (helps retain finished product's moisture content).

Smoke on!
