17 Pound Pork Shoulder

gabriegger

Rubbed the big pig with Cluck and Squeal.  On the large @275 degrees around 8:30am.  About 4hrs in temp dropped to 190.  Didn’t panic.  Pulled out a bottle of Trinidadian rum a buddy gave me.  Had a good deep glass and noticed it was Royal Oak rum.  Odd that.  Wrapped the shoulder in foil & towel took it inside cuz it was minus 8 Celsius.  Took everything out of the egg and saw it was nearly out of lump.  My fault as I had built it up with leftovers from 3 bags of what looked like medium sized lump.  Broke open a new bag, fed the egg with all large sizes & re-lit.   Lost about 45 mins waiting for smoke to clear so I bumped the temp to 300.  Pulled at 190 internal around midnight.  Wrapped again for about half hour,  tore it apart and had a couple sandwiches before bed.  Good learning point for me on this one.  Thanks for looking.
