Great Start Kyle!Smoking my first pork shoulder using this guide and using the Chris Lilly rub.
Started at 6am so let's see how it goes.
Took exactly 11 hours to reach 200* internal temp. I forgot to take a picture of the final product, but it tasted great! As soon as I picked it up to move it off the tray, the entire shoulder just fell apart, in a good way :)Great Start Kyle!

Thanks Papadon!!
Thanks Bear, great info for a newbie. I did a pork butt when I first got my Traeger and it turned out very good, but learned some things from you that I will try next time. I have another butt in the freezer so maybe next week if it stops snowing. I guess I'm not the purest that you are, the Traeger is so easy basically just set and forget it and everything turns out great. I've had an offset smoker and did a wedding rehearsal party for 60+ people (brisket) with it but it was a lot of work, smoked for 2 days straight.for that meal. Now I can fire it up, put on the meat and shovel snow, watch football, go into town, actually I can do anything I want to for the next 6-8 hours. Love this smoker/grill.
Sure you can put it right on the rack, like I used to do my Prime Ribs (See Link Below):
Whats the wire mesh you have the pork on? Do I need that or can I just put it right on the rack? I have the same smoker as you.

Thank You Jose!Posts like this is why I love this forum.
Sure---You could do that if you get your timing plan right.
Hey Bear, I notice similarities in your step by step for Pork Butt, and Brisket. I'm doing a Brisket tomorrow, and am thinking of maybe throwing a Pork Butt in the smoker as well. Any tips?
Take Notes on Start Time of each, Temp, and sizes of each.
Seems like the timing will be very similar. Sounds like both need to be wrapped at 165, and then taken up to around 200 internal, then towel up and rest. Hopefully they get there around the same time.
Thank You AB !!
Glad the post was revived, Good step by step. Thx.
Thank You TJ !!
Thanks Bear - The cooking times is what Im going to use to target getting the meat to 203 IT. This ones 8#, so I want to start this 11 hr cook to finish up at 3 PM for Sundays Superbowl......so, doing the math now.......oh oh.....
Butt looks Great !!I posted a few days ago.... But, either it wasn't approved or... It just didn't save properly... So, sorry in advance if I end up double posting.
Five days ago, I attempted my second smoke on my new smoker, 30" Masterbuilt Bluetooth Smart Digital Electric Smoker. I followed as closely as I could....but, I couldn't get any smoke under 245 degrees.... I had an 8.4 lb Boston Butt and I did play around with the temps to keep some smoke on it. But, I followed as closely to your temperature landmarks, and about 13 hours later I had a fairly nice pan of pulled pork. I am very much a rookie, and need some practice, but was very content with my end results. The only thing I really was missing was a little more smoke flavor.
Butt looks Great !!:drool
All you need is an AMNPS Pellet Smoker.
