Someone has to say it. Your neighbor has a big butt!XL BGE; Medium BGE; L BGE

Awesome- that will be a fun cook. Happy birthday to your wife.FYI- pretty sure that is a whole pork shoulder (the butt and the picnic).Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

Yup, whole shoulder. Should be great!In the bush just East of Cambridge,Ontario

225 for a 20 pound butt, that will take like a work week to finish cooking. What Fun!

I would rub your wife's butt!!

Do you guys think 18-20 hours should do it? I can raise the temp at noon if it's not close? I have done several 10 pounders and they usually finish in 18 hrsIn the bush just East of Cambridge,Ontario

It's hard to say. I always cook by temp and not time.

Based on the shape I'm not sure it will take that much longer than say a 10 lb butt.This is stolen from the amazingribs site discussing times of rib roasts. The shoulder is similar- it is basically a big tube. Once the width is >= the height the cooking time may not vary increase based on weight (or not as much).I could certainly be wrong, but I don't think it is going to take double the time of a 10 lb butt.Which came first the chicken or the egg?

Ok...this got a little side tracked. I'm curious what people think. 20 lb shoulder...how long will it take?Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

At 225...shoot. Maybe 16 hours. I'd roll at 250SmokeyPitt said:Ok...this got a little side tracked. I'm curious what people think. 20 lb shoulder...how long will it take?
