Looks great, but you never said how long the “cook” took, and how then how long did you leave it wrapped in boil over the coals? I do realize your temp-probe guided you, but just curious as to the time involved.
It took about 3.5 hours to get to 160 F, then about another hour and a half wrapped up to get to internal temp of 194 F. After that it rested for another 45 minutes before cutting into it. Yes, I always use a temp probe to guide me and sometimes I lose track of cook time. Sorry about that.

I'm smoking one today for U.S. Thanksgiving! The magic starts in about 30 mins :) Thanks for the video!
That's great! Happy thanksgiving!
Just discovered these fine smokers and got one coming in the mail next week.
Congrats! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
nice will be trying this once those ghouls deliver mine #nsstrong
What do you use for your heat deflector if you mind me asking?
My heat deflector is an 11 inch grate found on amazon and a 9 inch pizza stone from the dollar store.
Thanks!
How big was that pork shoulder? Looks awesome!!!
Not really that big, maybe 2-3 lbs. I think.
@@thecanadiangrill1715 thanks mate. I think we have a winner. I want this for small cooks so around the 4lbs mark

@@thecanadiangrill1715 why an internal temp of 194 when well done is 165?
