Finally got around to doing a shoulder! This one is 7 pounds after being trimmed.
Generous coating with a brown sugar-based rub and....
....into the smoker it went. Using Pitmaster's Choice pellets in the AMNPS. Set the temp at 255F.
Started the smoke at 8:30 am, temp stalled at 162F about 6 hours later. I did not wrap it!
11 1/2 hours total time I took it out when IT read 200F.
I let it rest tightly covered for a couple hours and then pulled it by hand. My wife is picky about her 'cue so I was happy that she said she loved it.
This was certainly the easiest smoke I've done so far, just closed the door and kept an eye on the remote temp control!
As usual the AMNPS worked fine. Thanks for having a look and thanks to everyone here for the wealth of information on the forum! -Rich
