Hello all!,
This past weekend I put a couple of bone in pork picnic shoulders in the 18.5 wsm controlled by the guru for a family meal.. They were 10 and 11 lb before removing the thick skin and fat.. Farmer John all natural brand.. The ones with the shoulder bones in then.. Kind of looked like a ham.. Anyways.. I started the first one at 7:45 pm and the other one at 9 pm Friday night.. By 7pm the next day the first one reached 190 so I pulled it as I got tired waiting as I had angus beef ribs to also smoke.. The other one I moved to the top grate at that time and it reached 190 (wanted to pull at 200 originally) but temps started to go down on it.. It got to 187 and I just said forget it and pulled it.. With both the bones slid off clean and pulled easily with just the tongs... Any one what happened?? I'm perplexed..22 and 24 hour smokes with temps consistent and controlled by the guru dx2... First time using btw and wish I would have gotten it sooner!!! No more sleepless nights!!
