Place cover on grill with ventilation holes open. Grill temperature should range from 210° to 275°F. Add additional hot charcoal when temperature falls to 220°F. Add additional wood chunks every three hours. Cooking time will be approximately nine to 10 hours. Internal temperature of shoulder should reach 190°F to 195°F. Remove pork from grill, allow to cool for 30 minutes, pull meat from bone, remove fat layers, and sauce to taste.
