    Happy Labor Day Bone-In Pork Shoulder!

    Bone-in Pork Shoulder. Been in since 8pm last night and it's 8:15am the next morning and I'm stalled at 150, UGH! I was hoping to get past the stall sometime in the night so I wouldn't have to go through the agony today. Owell, since it's for dinner I have a TON of time to wait out the stall.
