Planned on smoking a shoulder this weekend so I got a 10 lb one all coated with my rub (used mustard on the outside for the first time since so many say they do this) on Thursday night. Thought I had no plans for Saturday but that changed so what the hell I will start it tonight.

Well Michigan temp decided to drop to 41 degrees but so what still smoking it. Then as I am putting it on the smoker it starts snowing and it is really windy.

No problem, moved the smoker closer to the house with a bit of a wind block and let it go. Believe it or not I am keeping a pretty constant 225 but I have a feeling I may have to finish to the final 190 in the oven later. We will see. I want at least a good 3 or 4 hours on the smoker.

Pictures to follow.

Don't worry brother. After 3 hours in the smoker you'll have enough smoke on it to taste really good. I've finished many a shoulder and butt in the oven back when I had my brinkmann.
.they always taste fine. Pork shoulder just tastes GOOD!
Look forward to the pix. :grilling_smilie:

Lol. Sounds like we have the same weather. Just had a pretty good snow shower blow through Rochester NY. However you finish it I'm sure it will be tasty.
 
So here it is getting started At 6:00 PM. Fire box is on the right side and had fresh apple wood the AMNPS had maple in it.


Ok, so by 10:00 I had hit 134° and I brought it in to put in the oven at 250°


At 1:30 AM it had hit an internal Temp of 190° (wrapped in foil at 170°). At this point I wrapped in towels and pout in a cooler and went to bed.The next morning this is what I had. The bone just slid right out clean.


All pulled and ready for eating


So I saved all of the juices from this what do you guys usually do with them?

Hope you liked the post.

I dump them right back on the meat. Some people de-fat it first, I'm not one of them. Your pulled pork looks great. Thanks for the pics.

  And EXACTLY what they ^^^ said, I always pour the juice right over the PP as well
 
Looks great!I save the juice and incorporate back into the pulled pork for flavor and moisture.I froze a bunch of the last pulled pork I did after eating our fill of it.My next purchase will be a vacuum food saver product,I think would keep better in the freezer that way and almost eliminate freezer burn.
