cook time for a shoulder

claphamsa

I am going to cook 14.7  lbs of  pork shoulder  on the egg over night....how long should that take? in my old smoker with temp issues it would be 18 ish hours...

claphamsa

just added the rub, and warming to room temp. Godzilla is on, and snowzilla is blowing.  had no problem maintaining 250 at 40  degrees, lets see how it does at 22 degrees.

thinking midnight to noon is my best bet (or check temp around 10 AM)

I would bank on 12 hours and make adjustments during cook if necessary. If need to speed up wrap it. If gets done early FTC. Bone in?

no bone, costcos finest.

12-15 hours has been my run time.

claphamsa

cool! firing it up at 11...will have a nice shoveling break at some point...

At 250 I'd be very surprised if that's ready on time unless that 14.7 pounds is split into two hunks. If it's two pieces I think your time will be closer.

As for cooking time, there is a good amount of variability between individual pieces so take all times as rough.  

225º:  2 hours a pound

250º: 1.5 hours a pound

280º:  1 hour per pound

350º:  45 mins per pound

2 chunks....it just went on at 225

No bone will cook faster.

in case anyone cares, the egg gained 5 degrees overnight. apparently battling snowzilla is hard work.
