Also i always put the pork fat side down to act as a barrier against the heat.

Great thanks, that's the first time I've heard of cooking with the fat facing down, I'll give it a go.

The old adage of the fat running down and basting the meat isn't really a factor, and if it did it would wash off the rub you've spent ages applying.

So I am "working from home" today.....Rained all morning, brightened this afternoon, so I have flashed up the smoker for the first time and just put a 3-4lb joint of Pork Shoulder on the top rack....Been on for about 30 mins as I write this and the smoker is holding a constant 230F so far....I put the joint on at 250F. Fingers crossed.....My plan is to take it of at around 165F and put it in a foil tray with some marinade and cover and put it back on until it gets up yo around 190-200F....Does that sound about right???

Sounds fine. I've read about removing to rest anywhere between 190 & 203.
Amazed I have never thought of smoking when WFH
