I still marvel at all the posts about cooking pulled pork for 12-15 hours. I put in an 8 lb, bone in picnic (my first--I usually do the butt end) at 3:15 yesterday at 250 degrees and pulled it out at 10:15 with an internal of 195. I didn't open the door during the cook. With a great bark, it shredded beautifully before I went to bed at 11:00.

the last cook was 14 1/2 hours and I took them to 195* internal.

2 hours smoke
8 hours 180*
4 1/2 hours at 250*

As noted in another thread, it had the perfect smoke for me, which I have not been able to get what I want at 250* straight through, and the best bark to date. The biggest difference I taste was the tenderness of the meat. I attribute this to the lower temps and the meat having time to properly render itself of the fat and connective tissue.

My guinea pig neighbors had no words of improvement for this cook. They usually have me tweek something here or there.
