I'm curious why the cuts on top? Is it to get more surface area, and therefore more bark? I've been doing butts for years and haven't tried that technique yet.

This is my first attempt that is what I was told and read also to help in rendering the fat cap

Just inserted the Inkbird into the shoulder

At the stall so wrapped it up

IMO it's 99% looks. Much like APL using finishing salt on BBQ. These things are variations of gilding the lily.

It's resting pulled from smoker when it was probe tender and Inkbird hit 203,207 on the probes

A successful attempt the bone fell out

Thanks to everyone that supplied tips and information for the pulled pork I used Bearcarver's method and it turned out well..made homemade Mac n cheese also

How do I get more smoke into the meat ..I smoked the shoulder with hickory until I wrapped it at the stall Everything else went as planned just the smoke flavor was lacking..I did salmon on Friday and used pecan and that is probably the best salmon I've done so far..I did a Cornish gamehen last weekend no smoke flavor and smoked the whole time any opinions
