Cooking time and temperature

[Nellie]

This is my first try with my 1400. I had a 9 lb pork shoulder trimmed into 2 inch strip. My plan is to hang the marinated strips.

My question is, will 225 F be and appropriate temperature to start? Looking for feedback, thanks in advance.

I would just lay them on the rack. 225 is a good starting point. Try the whole shoulder next time. Its a slower cook, but the results are great, and easy to do, just a slower process.

Thanks, will give a 2 hour cook time at 225 F and see how it turns out. I still need to cure my box today.

Temp more than anything should direct you.
