Took 12.5 hrs to get to 190 while smoking at 220. I had a pan of apple cider in the smoker. I think it turned out pretty good. It's a little drier than I would've liked but it was still very tasty. The bark was delicious and had a great texture to it. I think I'll leave a little more fat on next time, I think that might help with the dryness a bit. Also since I brined then let it sit for a few hours, I have a feeling that played a part as well. So next time I'll brine then rub it right away and then right into the smoker.
