What's in your smoker tonight?

Asking for a friend....
Looking to “cheat” the 10-16 hour pulled pork process and don’t know if the 3-2-1 process will fly with pork shoulders.
3 hours exposed to a hottish smoke (275)
2 hours at same temp but butts are wrapped in foil or parchment
1 final hour unwrapped (and then let rest for 20 or so).

I like this guy and use his rubs when not using Bionic’s!

Anyone have any experience with this process for pork shoulders- I am
Nervous that they will be too large - prob 6-8 pounds.

Air fryers and insta pots need not apply but would be willing to hear about a crock pot or oven roasting technique after some smoking.

Could steps be started the day/night before and resumed the following day?

For crock pot pulled pork. One to two pork tenderloins. Cover with sweet baby Ray's bottle. Cook on low for all day. Pull apart and enjoy at dinner on a delicious roll.

For shame!! You are a Jerk master and you recommend that?!! If anything you should be admonishing me for even asking,

I have done that(with homemade sauce to make it palatable) in the winter but it is nowhere near actual smoked pulled pork.

It will pull easier and have a better flavor if you sear before putting in the crockpot. That goes for any meat. On the grill is best if possible 
Oooo I'm gonna have to try that!

I don't think the 3-2-1 method will get it there for a pork shoulder. You need to get it to an internal temperature temp of 195 - 200 degrees. If you're looking to cheat, I would hit it with heavy smoke for 2-3 hours at around 250 degrees on the smoker then into a Dutch oven with a beer and into the oven at 325 for another 2-3 hours. During the winter I do pork shoulders in the oven and they are usually done in 4-5 hours.

Is that the Traeger 22? I really want one of these but I was told to get the larger size. Do you ever find you need more grill area? What kind of pellets do you prefer?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Yea, my wife just surprised me with it for fathers day.  She consulted my buddy who has a big traeger.  They decided that size was fine since I wouldn't be replacing my other grills, only using it for smoking.   Plus if I ever wanted to smoke something huge, I could just use his.  I've only used it a few times, but there was more than enough room to do two 6lb pork butts the other day.  Costco has 33lb bags of maple, hickory and cherry blend.  I'm starting with those.  I've been impressed so far.  It does a great job of keeping temp.

The 250 gal RF stick burner is coming out of hibernation tomorrow. 

Not even close to being full, but I need some smoke therapy.  

1- 12 lb pork butt.  1- 13 lb brisket.  Some baked beans, and mac-n-cheese.  

I'll post up some pics tomorrow once I get her fired up.
