trouble with minion method
ive been having trouble using the minion method. whenever i try to use it the smoker ends up running much too hot, and then i have to scoop out some charcoal and revert back to the add 5 or so briquettes every once in a while method. ive tried starting with just 6 lit briquettes but the temp...- jjw

pork shoulder taking a long time?
why is it that it cooks faster in the oven? or at least it seemed to. maybe its just because i didnt foil it until it got to the oven -
pork shoulder taking a long time?
in not so much concerned with the stall, im aware that it is the time that the fat breaks down to gel, what im more wondering is how it took me so long to even get to the stall. i didnt get there for 9 hours, and it almost seemed like it stalled twice. -
pork shoulder taking a long time?
it was delicious, my first true success so far. next time ill get up earlier -
pork shoulder taking a long time?
i think i pulled it out closer to 197ish, and the thing fell apart easily. i suppose had i gone to 205 there'dve been less grease though right? although i looked and had trouble finding any left over fat, i think just about all liquidized -
pork shoulder taking a long time?
i i know you werent, i was just citing a past instance in which i foolishly chose to cuts corners and ended up wasting my time. i waited the full hour, and it ended up damn good. pulled it out of the oven around 195 or 200 -
pork shoulder taking a long time?
i spent all day on this, so i want the best results. ill go the full hour ive already try pulling it at 180 because i didnt want to wait, waste of time to cut it short. figure i might as well wait an extra half hour for the best results. cant do two though, that just isnt going to happen -
pork shoulder taking a long time?

pork shoulder taking a long time?
yep, ive got the foiled shoulder in the oven at 275. i wa sunder the impression that i only had to let it rest for a half hour? -
pork shoulder taking a long time?
well ive given up on the smoker now, tired of going outside, and if im foiling anyway i dont feel like wasting more coals, so its been transfered to the oven now. hopefully it wont be too much longer now, stomach's grumblin i always thought there was some hours per pound rule, but i guess fat... -
pork shoulder taking a long time?
can you think of any reason why this happened? 11+ hours of cook time for 3 pounds of meat seems ridiculous, im not sure how this happened -
pork shoulder taking a long time?
wow, hour later and temps down to 168, think im gonna foil it and see how that goes -
pork shoulder taking a long time?
hmmm, is there anything ill lose from foiling? or does it just cut down cook time
