Some things just smell good in the morning...like overnight PP

[uncle eddie]

She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed wanted pulled pork for supper tonight. Fired up the MES40, SPG for seasoning and popped it in last night around 8:30 PM. Ran the smoker at around 235F (+/- 10F). Wrapped this morning at 6:45.

My overnight PP is usually done between noon and 4:00 PM the next day.

FWIW - I use a MEATER temp gauge. Overall, it has received more negative than positive reviews on this forum...main complaint is typically the size (diameter) of the probe.
MY TAKE - I really like my MEATER probe. Especially on big cuts of meat - like brisket, PP, whole turkeys, etc. Not good for ribs or "delicate" cuts.

Looks good. Just curious if doing them overnight why bother wrapping and not letting it just ride through the stall and everything? My wife and kids aren’t a fan of the heavy bark on PP so I usually wrap

NICE. PP on deck myself. Mine ran 15hrs and could never figure out how to get it to line up with my schedule. I cut that bad boy in half and was done in 8hrs bonus being 2x more bark. We are bat s*** for bark here. No other way for me. Curious how my PP will turn out on the Smokefire instead of the MES.

I unwrap for the finish to "bark it up" a bit.
We are light to moderate bark fans.

Amen to that...it is done when it is done!

Depending on done-time depends also on how long the rest is. I had one get done super early resulting in a 6 or 7 hour "rest" (got done way-fast) and when I shredded 6 or 7 hours later, it was still a steaming hot 165F.

Looks like the female in charge will be a happy camper.
BTW, my daughter got me a meater for Christmas lsat year, I don't have issue with it either. I don't use all the bells and whistles just temps

Lovin' what I'm seeing! I'm guessing it's a sign for me to make PP for Memorial Day since butts just went on sale down here too.
