Greetings!  Just joined.  Just bought a Masterbuilt 30.  Just bought an Amazin' Smoker.  Want to smoke a 6 1/2 lb pork shoulder tomorrow.   Just realized I don't know how long & how hot?

Little help, please.

Glad you joined us and welcome to your new found (addiction) hobby!

If you are going for pulled pork I suggest bringing the internal meat temp while the shoulder is foiled to 200º and and then wrapping in towels and letting it set in a cooler for an hour before pulling the pork.

Time is tough to guess, every cut of meat is different; don't turn the temp on the smoker up to rush it and cooking to temp is the key to success.

Another tip I can add is trying this sauce to drizzle over your pulled pork before serving, it will give you a winning smoke first time up to bat! http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/forum/thread/51933/soflaquer-s-finishing-sauce-for-pulled-pork

Welcome to SMF. There are a lot of very friendly & knowledgeable folks here to help you. I urge you to sign up for the free E-course. It will give you the basics, & even if you are an experienced smoker you may learn something new. Then start asking questions. Good luck & glad to have you aboard. Don't forget we all love Qview!   

There are several threads on how to smoke a butt, but it's essentially this. Put in smoker set at 225. Let smoke for 5 or 6 hours then put a temp probe in the meat, when the internal temp gets to 165, wrap in foil & back in the smoker until the IT hits 205. Out of the smoker & wrap in towels & put in a dry cooler for at least 1 hour, then pull.

Folks, thanks for the info & support.  Just wanted to let all know that the results were better than I could have dreamed.  No camera so can't show, but REALLY happy with the flavors & look.  Can't wait for another go!
