Our local supermarket (Jewel) had a 3-day sale for Pork Shoulder for $0.99/lb. Picked up one last night and immediately put it on the smoker for an overnight smoke.
Coated with just a bit of mustard, then added Riley's all purpose seasoning as a the rub.
Smoked with Apple (first load in the MES) then Cherry as the second load.
Set the MES at 245F, and the roughly 8 lb shoulder smoked from 8:30 PM last night to 11:00 AM today. Did not wrap during the smoke.
New procedure is to remove the chip holder from the MES, max it out with chips, and let it smoke. The chips usually last 4 hrs or more before having to reload the chips.
Will let the shoulder rest a bit before pulling
