First smoke 2019 pork shoulder on BHC

Finally got some weather to be able to get back on smoke.  Basically above freezing (40F) with a NE wind.  Sprinkles and snow but nothing serious (last night was the measurable rain.)

Today is a pork shoulder I bought from Meijer.  Rubbed it last night with the Memphis Dust and hooked it on the BHC at 8:20 this morning.

Just got home from lunch (12:20) and we hit 160F.  So 4 hours in the BHC.

Now it's wrapped, mopped in apple juice, and in the convection oven to finish at 225F until it hits 203F.

Big miss though!  I forgot to add the apple wood chunks to the charcoal.  Bummer dude!

Not sure that's going to make a huge diff, but still kicking myself.

If it's anything short of awesome I'll make note.  Hoping done in time for dinner.
