Pulled pork fell apart too early - saved it with a trick

I was smoking a pork shoulder at my buddy's place outside Austin and the temp spiked to 220 after I dozed off for an hour. The bark was solid but the meat was shredding like pulled chicken already at 190 degrees. Has anyone else had a shoulder break early and fixed the texture without it turning to mush?

Man, is it really that big of a deal?

Actually used to feel the same way until I saw it firsthand.
