Hello from nebraska.

Hi all, my name is Brandon and I'm from Nebraska and have only been smoking since November.  I purchased a masterbuilt electric smoker from my local tractor supply store.  I've since smoked a couple of briskets, pork tenderloin a turkey and tried to smoke a pork shoulder.  Had trouble with the pork shoulder since I had never done one.  I didn't get it up around the 190 degree temp, it stalled at 165 and needed to get it off.  Going to try and do one today after looking on here for tips.

Welcome from western NY. A lot of good people on this site .... btw , pork shoulders/ butts will just about always stall at 160-170'ish and can hang there for hours. Best to let it go... I usually foil it at that temp as it seems to speed the process up although purists would cringe :)

Welcome !

Nice to meet ya guys.  I did put wrap the pork roast in tin foil around 140 degree mark and let it go to 195 and pulled it off.  I didn't mind it.

welcome to the forum ,Brandon. Good to have you here.

Had trouble with the pork shoulder since I had never done one.  I didn't get it up around the 190 degree temp, it stalled at 165 and needed to get it off.  Going to try and do one today after looking on here for tips.

the dreaded stall! I wonder did you finish that shoulder in the oven? How was the final product ?

Well , anyway , good luck with your future smokes.
