is is my first ever smoke (pork shoulder). I’m a long-time propane grill user, but recently bought a used Ironwood 885 to give smoking a try. Followed the meat church recipe and seasoned with Gospel. I started my cook at 6am and we ate dinner at 6pm.

Smoked at 225F for 2 hours (super smoke), then 250 for 5 hours (spritzed every hour for those last 5). That got it to 170F internal, so I wrapped it in foil with butter and brown sugar. Smoked another 4 hours at 275F, which got it to 206F internal. Rested for 45 min, pulled, and ate.

It tasted good and was fall-apart tender. Maybe could’ve used more smoke flavor. How does the bark look for a pellet grill? What should I change or experiment with next time?
