I did two pork shoulders today. I did them hot and fast method. They came out very nicely. Took about 5 hours total.
This was a) my first cook on my FEC 100, and b) my first hot and fast on pork shoulders.
My weird experiences were that the internal probe registered 71 degrees for well over an hour from the moment I put it in the meat. I know it was colder in the meat than that at first. But it finally got working a couple of hours into the cook.
The other strange thing is all the ash that was "peppering" the whole bottom of the smoker ... whoa! I wasn't expecting it. But overall it did not seem to effect the finished product which is all I am interested in.
