I have a ceramic cooker, but the idea is the same. In this case, stick a thermometer in the top vent for your temp. reading. If its too high, gradually close the bottom and top vents a little at a time over a period of time. The temp change isnt instant, but eventually controlling it becomes second nature. The more you restrict air into the bottom, the lower the temp you will get and more smoke produced.

I wouldn’t have been able to get to the pulling stage, I would be eating the huge chunks straight of the bone. Awesome.

hey canson81, your q shack may be adding a ajou sauce before serving. Try leaving the fat cap on. The WSM water smoker makes for a moist barbecue but remember you are smoking the pork shoulder, a tough fibrous muscle for 10-12 hours. Next time you are at your q joint, check out what they are doing. -BBQ Pit Boys

I’ve been using this recipe on a WSM since last summer but I have one problem. I’ve been cooking the butts until they’re falling apart. But the meat just isn’t as moist as the Q joint in my neighborhood. A buddy suggested I use foil halfway into the process but that just doesn’t seem right. What do I need to do to get that juicy moist consistency?

hey britishcolumbiasanta, “Pork Butt” is an old term used by butchers in some parts of the country, but is actually meat from the Pork Shoulder. A bit confusing. -BBQ Pit Boys

im only 14, so I dont know alot about types of meat, but if this is pork butt, why is it called pork shoulder? just so it sounds nicer? i’d appreciate a reply, thanks.
