My name is Paul Brown and I live in New Jersey. I have been grilling most of my life with no knowledge of really how to make it great. Recently got a Smoke Hollow 4 in 1 Model 47183T, which only seems available at Sam's Club(http://www.samsclub.com/sams/smoke-hollow-4-in-1-combo-grill/prod3920115.ip?navAction=push). With this Unit I have started to look into enhancing my Grilling and to learn how to smoke everything I can. So far I have smoked a Pork tenderloin and a pork shoulder. I do have to say that with a little internet research and patience they both came out pretty good. The one big issue I have is maintaining the temperature. The shoulder was 8lbs and took about 16 hours. I used the fire box to smoke both pieces of meat and had to put the shoulder in the oven in the house for the last 2 hours as I could not get it past 197 degrees internal temp.

Needless to say I have since then found some information on possible ways to fix the temp issue and will let you know how it goes after my next smoking escapade.
 
Welcome Paul!  I hope you've been using the charcoal portion of the grill the most....THAT'S where the flavor is at!   Anyways on the shoulder you experienced the dreaded stall, don't feel bad it's freaked out everyone at some point.    
 

There is a wealth of knowledge on here and little by little you'll learn temps, tools and tips to make smoking great foods easier.   Good luck and welcome!
