Sorry no Qveiw but we have all seen pulled pork before :)
Anyways here it goes.
Bought a 12 lbs bone in shoulder/butt. (Largest I have done by the way) Figuring 1.5 hours per pound it should take about 18 hours. I figure I will just start it at night and go to bed. So warm up the MES 30 to 230F and light my AMNPS. Get everything ready put AMNPS and roast in smoker. About 1 hour later check it out everything looks good so off to bed.
Get up in the morning and AMNPS was not lit right. So ~ 9 hours with no smoke. Internal temp was 170F, I decide not to foil it and try to get some smoke. Used the normal MES 30 chip tray for the rest of the time until an internal temp of 210F ~ 6 more hours.
Pork turned out great but there was NO noticeable smoke.
Why did it not absorb any smoke towards the end? What could I have do to "save" it?
