Hi folks,

This weekend was my first weekend to use my new electric smoker. I had an 8.39 lb shoulder. I prepped it my rubbing it down with mustard and then applying a great rub. I wrapped it tight in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 6 hours.

I then fired up the smoker with 1/2 cup apple and 1/2 cup maple. Put the shoulder in at 225 F at 9:50pm. I got up at 1:00am, 4:00am and 7:00am to spray it down with apple juice. Then at 11:00am, I took it off when it had reach 192 F and did something I have never done. As suggested on this forum, I wrapped it in tin foil two times and then in paper towels and placed it in an empty cooler. At 1:30pm, the temp was still at 160 F. I unwrapped it at 4:00pm (now at 150 F), let it cool down, and then pulled it. Made my sauces and served it up. YUM YUM!

All in all, I was very happy with this smoker. This is the first time I used an electric smoker. My other smoker, was a charcoal/propane and it was just too ragged out. My wife bought the electric for Father's Day.

I hope everyone had a great Father's Day in smoke this weekend!

Nice job on the pork. Did my first pork shoulder this weekend as well. Know how good it felt when it turned out good. Nice collection of pics.
