in Pork
I did my first low/slow/smoke on the BGE today.  8 Lb pork shoulder.  I tried to stay around 250.  It looks fantastic!  Keep up the info and I'll be a real EggHead in no time!  I don't think it could have been any better, but it's worth a try!

    Looks great.
    How long did you cook it for? Also what was the internal temp you pulled it at?
    My cooks run around 2 hrs per pound at around 235 Deg.

    It ended up running for about 11 hrs.  I was sitting at 250* most of the time.  I pulled it at 200* internal.

    It was great, now I'm itching for the weekend again.
