Whittle Baby Shoulder

[Shootr]

Just a lil' 6lb'r for the weekend. Rubbed up and cooking at 225 with Green Mountain Fruitwood blend pellets. They do smell wonderful and burning well in the tube too. First time trying them - good price at Sportsmans Warehouse

Waaaaaaay early lol! Only an hour in, but man - I can't get over the aroma of these pellets. Usually use Camp Chef but I'm looking forward to tasting it with these.

Holy heck... 11 hours!?

Went up to 275 for the last 2. Internal is under 200, but the fork glides in and out, so I'll rest it for a bit and see what I get.

Pulled nice! Very pleased with the result

Looks great there! I just recently got a smoke tube as well and I really like it.

Looks really good! How did you like the pellets?

I like them. They fed and burned without a hitch and with minimal temperature fluctuations (My grill seems really good at keeping to 215-240 for hours on end on "high smoke"). Lots of smoke ring and the meat is full of flavor. Best butt I've done yet (not that I've done that many) - don't know if it's the pellets or having more patience or what.

I'll buy them again. Now I want to try their "Texas" blend on a brisket.

Looks great! Thanks for sharing.

So what was total cook time? Smoker was running around 225*?

I’m planning to do a butt about that size tomorrow. Planning to run a little higher temp.

I went 225 for 9 hours and it was still resisting the probe. Jumped up to 275, and after 2 more hours it was probing smoothly over 80-90% of it so I took it off and rested it for about 90 minutes in a metal bowl covered in foil.

I didn't wrap it in paper this time - I wanted to do a full cook without it to see what the difference would be. I'll probably wrap in the future - I don't notice a big difference between the two options.
