Starting my first shoulder for pulled pork

[hillbillyrkstr]

Exactly what I said on his other thread B. Have to test the probe with a boil test.

i put the other thermo in there and it was at 149

You will get there. While you wait you could test out one (or both) thermometers so you know you can trust the readings when time comes to pull the meat out.

hillbilly told me to go ahead and test em real quick and they came out at 212 and 210.

what temp would yall run the oven at if after you wrapped it and waiting to get it to 200? and my smoker is going hotter now. around 275, my thermo estimates about another hour and half to get to 170 IT

 

[fisher6688]

which would put it at around 6 hours to IT of 170

I would go 300 in the oven without worries. But that's me. Other members prefer low and slow.

Seems like they are both ok... You must have been getting a false reading then - if your probe was touching bone or you were in a seam of fat you can get a false temp...

I am at 170 it's been about 5 hours since the start. Wrap it up and in the oven to finish.

IThat will help race thru the stall. And drive you crazy with the smell.

I put it in the oven on 300 at about 5 pm. 2 hours later and it was IT of 200. It went from 170 to 200 in oven. I got it still in foil and sitting in the cooler. The poke test was good. Some spots were like butter and some had a slight resistance. But it felt soft

 

[fisher6688]

Gosh it smells good

I think you nailed it. Looking forward to pics from pulling.

That looks like awesome pulled pork. Congrats. Good idea with the juices. No finishing sauce needed.
