    Pork shoulder on a Weber

    Taking my new Weber e670 through a long cook. Smoking a 12lb shoulder on it over night. I only plan on adding smoke for the first 2 hours or so. Looking forward to some nice BBQ in the morning. I will say, this grill takes a lot of work to hold temperature. I have found myself fiddling with it way too frequently. So far the smoke is going well but I'm not sure if leave this one unattended over night. We'll see how it goes. Pictures to follow.

    I will say, love this grill, but it's super finicky to hold temp for a long cook. I have it basically wrapped in foil per other posts and I'm still baby sitting more than I'd like. At some point, i think I'm get a dedicated smoker, but tonight we press on...

      Last of the pecan wood on. It's been smoking away for almost 3 hours. Ready to finish it low and slow. I'll let you all know how it turns out. It's been a yo-yo battle with the temp on this grill. Going to leave it be for a while

          bollingknowles If you are concerned about holding temps, I suggest getting a PartyQ or something similar. I have a 22" Weber kettle with a SnS and a PartyQ. The PartyQ is probably not needed but old habits die hard...lol

            Thanks, partyQ might be the way to go next time.

              Im not sure a partyQ will help much on that big gasser. I have found it a bit easier to control the temp about 4 to 6 inches above the grate for some reason. I have a rack the raises my cook area up so to speak. I'll find a pic that may help explain.

                I guess what I'm trying to say is it seems easier to hold a temp above the cooking great then on it. I put a cook rack or sheet pan if I'm baking on the riser rack. It's by no means set and forget.

                I have no idea why this is. Maybe it's less drafty up there or something.

                I can't wait to hear how you cook turns out.

                HA. This is always the hard part for me.

              Well it's done and it turned out great. Let it rest for a few, shredded it and had a big plate.

                Awesome cook sir. Pat yourself on the back for gassing that. It is by far the hardest smoking to do IMO

                Take a bow and enjoy! You earned that
                Pork!

                  That looks good enough to eat. I agree with Jon - That is a nerve-fraying task. I have a pork shoulder on my list for this Summer, but I also expect to sit up with it and fret even though I have long experience with charcoal. I am impressed.

                    Everyone loves their cooker for their own reasons. I love my egg because there is no fretting as I sleep,through the night. Reverse searing takes a little more attention though.

                      Good job! I have no (helpful) comment because every gas grill I've ever had the misfortune to work with had two temps, "Off" & "Incinerate"! They're probably better now, but I'll stick with what I'm comfy with, wood & charcoal...
