    5 and 1/2 pound pork shoulder on Electric Smoker: How long?

    Turbo?  Do you own a probe thermometer like a Maverick?  I cook my 8.5 lbs pork shoulders at 250 and have never exceeded 10 hours.  So, 13 hours for your 5 1/2 lbs piece of meat is tripping me out.  For my peace of mind, I'd love to know if your 225 was true 225 in the box or just the gauge...

    Stew Meat 2 - Smoked Pie

    turick, I think smoking the roast whole versus cubed probably turns out the same but just requires a little different practices.  With the cubes, a lot of surface area is getting smoke so that it doesn't have to stay in the smoker for hours and hours. My braising step was used to finish the meat...

    FYI, the shepherds pie went back in the smoker until the potatoes were lightly browned.

    Stew Meat 2 - Smoked Pie

    Time for the pay off!  They were both amazing.  The shepherds pie is infinitely easier because I didn't have to do pie crusts which always kicks my a$$.  But either one of these would be considered fine dining in comfort food.
