Did a Pork Shoulder Saturday. Last Fall I got a Brisket and they were practically giving away Pork Shoulder so I picked one up threw it in the Freezer and it has been there since. Finely decided to take it out and get it going. This was my first Shoulder on the Pit Boss so I watched a couple You-tubes to get the general overview. This was a 7lb and I was initially going to start at midnight and do 200 till morning but after my You-tube watching I figured that was too early and settled on a 2:30 start (should have kept it 12:00 ). So it was all injected and dry rubbed and I threw it on at 200 and went back to bed. At 6:00 I was pulling 125 and let it roll at 200 till 8:00 then went 225. At 10:00 I was panicking because I had planned on a 12:00-12:30 lunch and had to call everyone and tell them 1:30 would be more realistic. I turned it to 250 and it finally started to climb. At about 1:15 I finally hit 197 and pulled it. After resting for 20 minutes I shedded and got it on the table. Tuned out good with beautiful bark but not as straight forward as I would have liked, but then with smoking it never is.
