Safeway had pork shoulder on sale at $1.29/lb., so I picked up a 9 pounder.
Brought it home and seasoned it with Cookshack rib rub, put it in the fridge for 6 six hrs, and then let it set out for an hour. Put it in the smoker at 9:30 last night with 6 oz. of hickory, set the smoker at 200* and walked away. Checked it a couple times and went to bed.
At 7:30 this morning the butt was at 146* and kicked the smoker to 225*. I opened the door a couple times to let out some moisture and improve the bark. When it reached 205* at 4:30, FTC for a couple hours. Actually, it was falling apart as I pulled it from the smoker. It pulled beautifully. Added barbecue sauce, and we ate.
Darn. It was delicious. Great bark (thanks Smokin). Big hit at the house. I KISSED it. I love this smoker.
