Pork Shoulder HELP
 

Good Morning Everyone!

So grabbed a nice 12 pound shoulder and threw it on the egg at 9:30 PM last night. When I went to bed it was around 1230 there and we were riding around 250. Woke up at around 530 AM this morning and temperature in egg dropped down to 170-190. The internal temperature on the butt was 149.

I am probably worried about nothing but just wanted to ask the experts if that was ok and safe to eat. I've never done a whole shoulder just smaller buts - after 8 hours an internal temp at 149 sounds about right with a 12 pound butt.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

It will be fine. Let 'er rip and get to cookin. That has happened to me a couple of times and I've always had a good product in the end.

You'll be fine.

ET-732 is great for over night cooks. No suprises in the morning.

Stoke it and let it rip. you are good to go.

keep the fire going and you'll have a great shoulder, there is a lot of fat in the shoulder and it make it forgiving of minor errors in any cook.

Your good to go, nothing to worry about.

He's still eating so he aint got back to us.
