First attempt at a pork shoulder

[jwc]

Decided to try a small pork shoulder (4.5lbs) on my new performer using the minion method and banking my coals on the side separated by two fire bricks. The cook took 10.5 hours to gwt to 190 degrees. Temps ranged between 230 - 270 and averaged 250.

The meat is currently resting but here are the pics.

Awesome! Are you hooked now? Are you gonna try a bigger butt next time?

[jwc]

Thanks guys. Yes, absolutely hooked now. I am just cooking for two so I may go to an 8 or 9 pounder and freeze some.

Other than having to adjust the vents to control heat this was very easy to do. I am ready to try something else now

BTW. It tasted as good as it looked.
