Pork Shoulder on the WSM

[MileHiGuy]

Just put a pork shoulder on the WSM. We'll see how it turns out! Probably in about 20 hours. Low and slow!

Good start. What temp are you running it at?

What temp are you running at that makes you think 20 hours?

 

[MileHiGuy]

around 225 degrees. It's 8.5 lbs. I'm guessing it's gonna take around 20 hours to hit 203 degrees or so.

The thing I love about the WSM I have is that I know exactly how it cooks. And with a thermoworks temp gauge I can smoke overnight.

I've had 10-12 hours at that temp and similar sized buts.. but never 20! HAHA good luck and no matter how long it takes it'll be worth it!

Looks good. 8.5 - 9.0 is my target size for Butts. Every cooker cooks different, My MB 560 at 225 would take about 16 hrs. approaching 17 hrs depending how long my stall is.

Current temp. Time for a beer.

I don't think it's going to be 20 hrs....

Cheers I’ll drink one also. Are you planning on wrapping it at the stall or letting it ride? Hit it with some finishing sauce when it’s done too. It will set it over the edge

Wrapping and using finishing sauce!

8.5 pound pork shoulder = about 18 hours at 220 degrees. It's resting right now. Next to shred it and add the finishing sauce.
