    First pork shoulder Thursday!

    Meat has been on for 40min, I put it on when the smoker was at 225 and now it’s up to 262 with vents wide open and it’s still climbing. My question now is will it still take smoke even though it’s outside of the 225-250 range? Should I add more wood?

    I hit I with more rub this morning, that rubs last night was so it could absorb the flavor. Waiting for the smoker to come up to temp then it’s all set. Feel kinda bad for my neighbors hope they didn’t sleep with the windows open cuz the smoke and wind went right next door.....

    Picked up 2 pork shoulders from work gonna smoke one Thursday on the WSM for the 1st time! It’s 8lbs should I get up at 3am and do it low and slow at 225 or sleep in a bit and start it around 6:30 around 300? I’m shooting to eat around 5-5:30. Any opinions?
