Hey Guys and Gals,
Experience: I've been smoking for a little over a year and have done 7-8 shoulders/butts in that time, along with every other cut of meat known to man :) So not a total newbie, but lacking the experience of many of you "experts" that I rely on so often.
Details:
Smoker: MES 30 w/ MES Cold Smoker attachment
Thermo: Smoke Thermometer monitoring box temp and IT of Pork (thermo was mounted on the rack towards the back of the smoker on the same rack as the shoulder)
Meat: 9lb shoulder, fat side down
Outside Temperature: 15F at start dropped close to 0F overnight
Smoker Temp: Held 220-230 all night
Time: Pork went into the smoker @ 5:30pm w/ temp back up to 228 in the box
When I checked the IT temp @9:30am (16 hours) It was only at 159. I foiled and put it in the oven at 265 @10am as I need it to be ready for around 3pm today (for travel). In the past hour the temp has climbed to 167.
Problem/Question: What is your best guess as to why the shoulder was only at 156 @ 16 hours? Any tips or suggestions? Was it just a REAALLLLY long stall overnight?
Thanks in advance for your input!
