As this is my first cook on the WSM I know I am going to be a bit OCD and check the temp every 15 min. or so.
I will post some pron at the 4 hour point.

try with the water pan empty and foiled next time...I don't think you'll go back. The WSM will hold lower temps without it, and you shouldn't need the water for moisture (especially with shoulder).
and +1 for going higher temp...I've been doing my shoulders in the WSM around the 250-275° range with excellent results.
