So tired of the rain here in Indianapolis but I was not gonna let it make me put the shoulder in the over for the day.

Got a shoulder from Sam's at about 6 lbs.  Slathered it up with some mustard

image

Rubbed very generously with Dizzy Dust from Dizzy Pig and rubbed it in and let it sit in the fridge for about 18 hours.

Put on the Egg at about 250 mixed with Hickory and Apple Wood

    Yeah I usually put foil down and this time with the pouring rain I was in such a hurry to get it on there that I forgot about and said "darn I forgot the foil"  Oh well just burn it off next time I cook :)

    I wish I was a egghead when I traveled for work and was in Indianapolis I would have killed for some egg'd food while on the road! (if you were doing it at 225° I might have had enough time to get there..) 

    Looks like tonight is going to be some good eats!

    It is effected if the rain is hitting the egg.  It will just burn more lump to compensate for the heat loss.

    WHy is the BGE so amazing.  In a driving rain the therm has moved 5 degrees in 3 hours.  I have no auto temp controllers either!  

    Anyhow....Here is a picture of the shoulder 3 hours in and the internal temp is at 160

    One of the construction guys came over and said "you are killing us with the smell of your BBQ and we have 1 hour before we can take a lunch"

    Well seeing as how my temp has changed 5 degrees in 3 hours I'm seeing it as not effected at all.

    @EddieK76, I always enjoyed coming to Indy and having a shrimp cocktail and steak at St. Elmos! Given the choice, however, I think I'd wait for that pork to be pulled. Looks great!

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

    5.5 hours in...We've dealt with driving rain, sleet, some snow and high winds but this Egg is holding on strong!

    Internal temp is at 180.

    @EddieK76-given your cook temp, the butt weight and the quick temp rise to 180*F-you either have a fast cooking butt or you will see the late stall with this one in the low 180's-I have had some cruise right there (same general parameters) and then take a good 4 hours to move on into the 190's.  Enjoy the cook-looks great!

    We stalled in the low 170's for quite awhile.  I'm 201 and ready to pull off after 8.25 hours.  It was probably closer to 5.5 lbs after I looked at the packaging but it's truly hard to tell because it's cryovaced together with another butt from Sams.

    I was wondering about the dark bark also.  I've cooked several at a dome temp of 225 and 250* F and they never got that dark.  They were delicious and the last had a 210* internal temp.  They took 18 to 20 hours.  I started by covering them with mustard then the seasoning.  Anyone got any ideas why the difference in the color when we are cooking them at about the same temp?

    I believe the bark is a product of higher temperatures.  When we used to cook larger numbers of butts in wood/water smokers, the butts with the most bark were always located in the hottest parts of the smoker.  The egg doesn't have drastic hot spots like the wood cooker.  And for most of my meals, bark isn't what i am looking for.

    I just can think of anything that is better than pulled pork on the BGE.  Makes me want to do one this weekend.

    The last I was in INDY at the FedEx hub it was pouring freezing rain and sleet, last summer it was 100 degrees with T-Storms and hail.. Never left the airport. You live in the hottest and coldest city I have visited. Love the updates and photos. The dark bark looks like what I get when I use higher temps. I make my own mustard that has a lot more bite than store bought. I completely agree about pulled pork. Thanks for posting.
