Outstanding pulled pork!

"Pretty happy with the results?" Your BBQ looks fantastic from here!

I HAD a blue drum like that for my 18" wsm, but it either got stolen or blew away. You might try draping a blanket over the top, though. It will really help in holding the heat in, and doesn't have to be heat resistant since it's just covering the top. The Missus let me have a small acrylic one I found in a closet that never got used. I think it will forever smell like bbq and is now in the shed.

Great looking cook!

By the way, I have a 18.5" WSM. Where can you get the barrel? Cost?

Thanks for all the great comments gang! It just keeps getting better each time.
The shoulder was not dried out, tasted amazing. I have to try some buns with coleslaw on them next.

Dave R, thanks for tip on draping a blanket over top of smoker, will try next time, as lots of cool winter days here in Alberta.
Robert M, brother in law gave me barrel,no charge. I'm sure if you kept an eye on craigslist or kijiji you would find one for reasonable price.
Brad O, Had some pork left over , vacuum packed and into the freezer. I have a rather large nephew, he just loves it when I fire up the smoker or grill.
When he leans into that pork shoulder he can do some serious damage.
