When you say timings are off, how long did it cook?
It was about 12 hours - I was aiming for 8, but temps took a while to come up & I didn't want to just blast it. At 10ish, I realised there were some colder spots, and turned the meat around to finish.
Who knew how much pulled pork a 6 year old can eat in one sitting. They're an animal.

Looks good to me.
When you say timings are off, how long did it cook? I've never has pork shoulder cook in less than 15hrs. I cook at 110°c.
I highly recommend thermoworks signals, they're not cheap but they rock solid and definitely worth it, I bought some cheaper well reviewed ones on amazon first that were all over the place.
I put a couple of wood chunks in the middle then a couple on the edges of the charcoal which all catch throughout the cook, seems to work well for me.
I've fat up and down and I honestly haven't noticed any difference in taste, fat down prevents the meat sticking to the grill. All US recepies online cut off the thick skin which I've never bothered with, the fat falls off after the cook and you can throw it in the oven for pork scratchings.
