Hi Everyone,

My name is Tim and I'm living in Northbrook, Illinois. I'm about :20 from downtown Chicago. I bought a 18" Smokey Mountain. I'm looking to do my first smoke this weekend with pork shoulder. Looking forward to all I can learn about smoking from everyone here. Keep on smoking!
 
Thanks guys. I smoked a 6lb. pork shoulder using apple and hickory at 225-250 for 11 hours and it turned out beautifully. I didn't know about the BBQ Stall and it was frustrating at first until I read more about it. Also, not knowing timing of when meat may be done will help in the future. I made sure to keep good notes for future smokes. I'm looking forward to smoking this coming weekend. Enjoy the day.
 
Same here Tim!
I use digital thermo probe..one in the meat and one on the grate.
Love the thermo grommet on the side of my WSM.
Post some pics in the picture gallery next time
 
Welcome to a fun forum Tim, lots of expertise here so don't be afraid to ask any questions you might have. I grew up just a little south of you in Franklin Park.
