Saturday Night Pork Shoulder

DateSaturday, September 27, 2008 at 09:02PM

One of my good friends was having his 40th birthday and was gifted a 15lb Pork Shoulder with the bone in. Kinda of exciting!  I prepared it by rinsing a drying the meat thoroughly.  Rubbed the pork generously with seasonings. Then wrapped it saran wrap and threw it in the fridge for 24-36 hours.  Before smoking I let it rest for an hour at room temperature.

A large piece of meat such as a 15lb pork shoulder requires some patience. You should expect at least 15-20 hours of cooking time to reach your intended internal temperature of 200 degrees.   Since a pork shoulder has a lot of fatty fiber- it really will not start to render down till your meat hits 180 degrees. So be patient- you will be rewarded with some good barbecue.  

So my plan was to let my smoker run at 180-200 degrees until the pork shoulder hit 170 degrees.  Then I turned it up to 225-250 degrees to finish the run to 200 degrees internal. I did use straight apple-cider vinegar in a spray bottle and sprayed the meat once every half hour when I increased the temperature.   

We had a lot of fun with this barbecue and the pork shoulder turned out great.  We had approximately a 1/2 inch smoke ring and the pork was easy to pull.
