Somehow, I screwed up a pork shoulder. I have been smoking meats for 25 years. One thing I always counted on was pork shoulder, that always turned out great for me. This time, it turned out dry and tough. WTH? After say 50 cooks? Shoulder was the one thing I hadn't screwed up yet. This was probably the first time boneless. Doubt that was it though. I tend to blame the user.
Well, most of my past cooks were on a BGE. The BGE was great for long cooks. I no longer have a BGE because of another screw up. This was on a PBC. I have had trouble with long cooks with that. I added a lit charcoal basket to the PBC (for the first time ever) after about 4 hours and I think the temp went too high, blowing too fast through the temps that break down collagen. My guess. If I was certain, I wouldn't be posting.
I am actually considering a pellet grill for longer cooks.
