Boneless Shoulder & Skewers?

dgroce10

Hey everyone, I made the unfortunate mistake of buying boneless pork shoulders at Costco today. I am bringing the BGE up to temp now, and I have used kabob skewers to keep the butts together as pictured.

Can anyone let me know if this will get the job done? Thanks!!

Trying to cook up some pork for a bachelor party this weekend.

I can't say for absolute certain but the skewers should work just fine. For future references when you want to hold meat together when cooking jet net is hard to beat.

You don't really "need" anything to hold them together. I have done them several times. Sometimes I tie them and inject... sometimes I just rub 'em and put 'em on. If they open up a little bit, you just get a little more bark. I mean, who doesn't like bark right?

I was afraid of how they would turn out if I didn't tie them. The last time I made two butts, I was a few beers deep and too lazy to tie. Could be a little bit of how that low-n-slow turned Turbo... they were done in time for breakfast. 

:P

minniemoh. I just rub it and fold the meat under so the CI and the weight of the shoulder holds it in place. I've never had complaint because it all gets pulled after a rests. Family can't tell a difference in taste between bone in and no bone.
