Memorial Day Pork Shoulder

tymaier

Egg is warming up! Got a 16lb shoulder prepped. Little did I know it was split in two until I opened up the cryovac. Either way, it's still gonna be pulled pork!

Rubbed with honey mustard, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic salt, and paprika. Going to run at 225 and see what happens tonight!!

Did you get it at Sam's Club? I've bought some there and was surprised the first time to find two. I like them, plan to freeze one next time, probably next weekend.

Yes, it is where I got it!

I do mine at 230-235 and let them go all night using the BBQ Guru DigiQ. I think Sam's is pretty good quality meat, and they for sure make good pulled pork.

two per cryovac seems to be pretty standard.

It's definitely not clear that there's more than one by looking at the cryovac, same thing with pork tenderloins, but the weight should be a giveaway. You'll want to space your meat a little better. More air flow is better whether it's a L&S or just grilling.

About 10hr in. They have been around 180 for a few hours now. Should be ready for lunch!

They done!! I've got them foiled in the oven at 170. Is that fine to rest them for 90min or should I just turn the oven off?

 I would turn the oven off. Let temp slowly fall to 145 or so for pulling.

 The nice thing about the 2 pack is more surface area to build bark!

Thanks Jim!
The pork turned out great! Tons of compliments and lots of leftovers for people to take home.
