Another New SM025 Success | Cookshack

First Thank you everyone for such a great forum!

I received a new SM025 and did the requisite burn in with a couple good pieces of mesquite.
Once that was finished I ran around town and found a good butcher for a pork shoulder.
First shoulder
8.75LBS
220 degrees for about 11.5 hours
coated with CS rib rub night before (could have used more, but wanted to be careful)
Used 2 smallish pieces of Apple wood (lighter smoke for first cook)

Couldn't have been easier or better for a first timer.
Used the built in thermometer and one extra digital remote.

Could have gone heavier with the Rib Rub.
Aluminum foil in the bottom rocks!
The forum series on GFI outlets was very helpful.

Congrats on the new smoker and that there smile tells it all.

I guess you know the FUN is just starting and if you run into a problem or question, please ask!

That 025 will treat you good, loaded up or just a little piece of fish, it doesn't care, it will all turn out good.

Wow, no pics of the pork? I guess your son ate it up before you could get a shot off!

Welcome to the forum, and here's wishing you many more successful smokes in the future!

Now on to the Brisket. Will be researching it tonight. Bought an 11.11LB at the local butcher.
