high temp pork shoulder, what temp?

[Jeff Davidson]

We've been running around all weekend and I just didn't have time to put a pork shoulder on last night. Finally got it on at noon today, would like to eat around 7pm.

I know I can wrap it but I thought I would move the temp up instead. I read here that someone saw this done at a comp and they couldn't tell the difference betweeen a slow cook. Anyone have an idea of what temp I should shoot for?

I read the post you are talking about and tried a high temp butt. It came out very well and we were impressed. It cut down the time alot. I got the lid temp. up to 350F then put the butt on. It dropped to around 300F then came back to 340F. I kept it between 320 and 350 for the rest of the cook. The internal temp got to 190F after around 6 hours. It did plateau but only stuck there for about 35min. Hope this helps.
