Foil boat pork shoulder

Did a couple of pork shoulders today with the foil boat. Good results and took less time

I love the boat! I do it every time I cook a butt. Helps the fat cap render into something useful instead of being immediate discard on the cutting table.

Your butt looks awesome! Keep it up!

Can you tell me about the foil boat cook? I'm defrosting a pork butt and need to figure out how to cook it.

Thanks!

I'm quite sure it is a derivative of the brisket foil boat process that is widely available thru a google search.  So, give that a look coupled with anything here focused on pork.  FWIW-

you dont cook by time, cook to temperature. Around 165 remove butt and place on foil. Then fold up foild around butt leaving top half exposed. You can add some liquid at this point. Some add apple cider vinegar some pineaaple juice . Put back on egg until 205. Remove and let rest about an hour then pull it apart

Got it, much obliged.

Fatcap up or down?  Do you trim cap heavily or leave it intact?
