Okay i was smoking a porkloin. It was about 7 lbs. I used a sweet rub i created. I also injected it the night before with an apple juice base with my rub mixed in. Okay so i figured that would make it juicy throughout the smoking process. I was wrong. Kept temp in my propane smoker around 220-230 deg. The meat felt so tough at 165 so i kept going hoping it would get better. Well at 182 degrees i pulled it regardless and wrapped it in foil for 25 mins or so. I had to cut it exstremely thin to counter for the toughness and dryness. Any pointers woul be helpful.
 
Loins are tender and juicy at 145. Very lean meat.

Shoulder has alot of internal fat that needs cooked out.
