170+ for hours now, and the clock is ticking. I even put off starting it until 2am so it wouldn't be finished too quickly. Only a six pounder.

Wrap it with foil if you have to.

Can't. There are multiple hungry women involved.

???
Profit

If there's women involved they won't notice that you sacrificed some crispy bark for having it ready on time.

Maverick smoker thermometer is reading at 244 and has been between 225-248. Meat is currently 176. Neither thermometers have failed me in the past.

Pull it off and finish it in the oven. It won't change the flavor and it will get through the stall phase faster.

Something doesn't seem right. A 6 lb shoulder should easily be done in that amount of time. Like others have said just wrap it in foil, with a little liquid, and crank oven up to 350 and get it done.

Give it a little air, with this wind you'll be to 190 in no time. I always find once I hit 180 it jumps in matter of minutes (30 give or take).

Yup. This is what I'm banking on. It is making me nervous however.
