It definitely not rolled it is con fusing though it really looks like a typical shoulder that was trussed to retain shape after bone was removed. I could un truss it before foiling and look for any folds or rolls.....
Fantastic! This forum is a great resource and I would like to thank Piney for taking the time to help on a Sunday!
Final question: foil or go for max bark?
A little over 7 pounds. Probed twice from different angles once using ver y accurate instant read and then with my maverick. Both therms agreed on temp. I will go take another read with the instant. Both are calibrated as well.

What is bear view? Let me know and I will post it.
I put the probe in this morning internal temp was 159 I did not swab the probe with alcohol but the probe was clean. I am currently in the plateau in the low 160's but everything looks great. Another lesson learned after you are done with the smoking period close the chimney somewhat to...
