I pulled it off at 193 in the end. I'll leave the next one I do on up to 200 I think. It came out fine, but wasnt as done as I think it should have been. I got way to impatient at the end for sure.
Here is the final result pulled. I just packed it all away for tomorrows lunch. I snuck a few tastes as I was pulling it, and it came out pretty good.
Also yeah I know its Chris' rub now. I found this one listed several times and decided to use it. Its a bit smoky for me, but it taste as good as anything I've ever had out here.

Acill, it's all about finding out what you like. It's a journey. You will find through experimentation what works and what doesn't. I'd suggest you keep a log of every cook keeping track of every detail. That way you'll be able to repeat your successes and avoid repeating what didn't work.

I have this one well documented. I like the log idea. I had a friend of mine tell me to do that as well before I started. I may try for something with a bit less spicy and more sweet/hot next time.
Also, I hate this part of the shoulder. I am not going to use a picnic shoulder again. That bone is way to big and made it have way more connective tissue than I want. I only got it because it was on sale for $1.39 a pound. $14 for all this meat was a great deal, but man was it a lot of time!
