    Running commentary on my smoked pork shoulder

    Well, I checked out my temps. Probe in boiling water was at 210, so a couple of degrees low, but pretty accurate. But the oven, at 300, the probe read at 288, but then it dipped as low as 263, then it turned on again and went back up to 288. I am only guessing, but I assume that the idea is...

    Running commentary on my smoked pork shoulder

    We'll it fell apart and the bone came off clean, but it is dry. Definitely was done sooner than when I pulled it off. I added in some apple juice and vinegar mix plus some bbq sauce, but I am thinking something in my set-up is flawed. I wonder if my digital thermoter is not right. It was...

    Running commentary on my smoked pork shoulder

    Running commentary on my smoked pork shoulder

    Got up to check and see where we are. 180 after 6 and a half hours in the oven. It now looks like it might need another 3 hours. I am feeling pretty good about timing for the Super Bowl party. I had predicted that the 25 pound pork shoulder after being totally trimmed would be 22 pounds. Once...

    They r looking pretty nice I think. Sprayed with cider and juice one last time and glazed in honey, then double wrapped in foil into a 225 oven. Looking 198 IT. From 150 I suspect it's gonna be a while yet. We shall see.
