watching this one! you adding the ribs mid day?
 
Bad boy! Never ever open the lid for silly things like taking pictures. When the temp says its done then and only then are you allowed to open that lid. If you're lookin you ain't cookin. The biggest part of the sucess of simple smoking is to keep it simple. The less you do the better the results are likely to be. Rub, smoke and eat. But in this case it was okay to open it briefly (very briefly) to add the ribs.
Yes sir...I am sorry sir...It wont happen again sir....not for another 5 hours at least....lol :emoji_blush:

I know you're gonna like what you get but the hardest part is discipline when that smell starts coming out of the pit. Then you get hungry and your mouth starts watering. All you can do is clean out your mouth with another beer and wait it out. However it gets worse when its resting in the cooler and you know it's almost time to eat.
Thanks for that....now Im really hungry...LOL I skipped breakfast and lunch just for this!!

Funny thing ... I didnt start it till midnight...now Im thinking I should have started it earlier...LOL It was a 10 lb shoulder that I trimmed about 2lbs off in skin and excess fat That makes it 8 lbs approx. At 2hr per lb would put me at 16 hours....Im at 15 now and just hit the 160 mark....guessing this is going to go alot longer than anticipated.....problem is I have guests coming at 7 for the football game tonight.

MAN,,that looks really good... I know you want to go nekkid all the way.. but it sounds like you need to go ahead and wrap the shoulder If you want it done by 7... hopefully you will get a little time for it to rest as well ...
