Sliced and Smoked Pork Shoulder Roast

In my opinion a pork shoulder is usually served best when it is falling and slathered in BBQ sauce but since one only needs so much pulled pork leftovers in the freezer, I decided that this 9 pounder would be smoked and barbecued on the pellet grill to a sliceable 170°.  It turned out just right, very tender with plenty of moisture all the way through and a beautiful smoke ring.  Our side dish was Roasted Root Vegetable Candy, a delicious recipe by Ree Drummond.
