Never did one this size. Definitely want to do it low and slow. About 225 or so. Allowing for a couple hrs. FTC,how long would you think?
Oh,and it is boneless if thay will make a difference.
Thanks.

That is huge. Are you sure it isn't 2 butts in a cryovac pack that makes it look like one? As for cook time, I don't cook at that low of a temp as I believe there is no benefit and you run a greater risk of the fire going out while you sleep but believe it could be as long as 2 hrs/lb at that temp.XL, Large, Small, Mini Eggs, Shirley Fabrication 24x36 Patio, Humphrey's Weekender, Karubecue C-60, MAK 1-Star General, Hasty Bake Gourmet, Santa Maria Grill, Webers: 14" WSM, 22.5" OTG, 22.5" Kettle Premium, WGA Charcoal, Summit S-620 NG

Holy smokes, that is a huge pork shoulder, wouldn't be surprised to see it as 2 in a cryovac pack.

I can't see a divide through the cryovac but looks can be deceiving. Perhaps it would be best to cut it in half if it is one piece?It's no coincidence that man's best friend can't talk.

Make some butterfly pork chops out of some and cook the rest indirect at 350 to keep it from drying out internal of 160 ish............or brine it, but that thread is best handled by someone other than myself.Owner of LBGE, Antique Komodo Green in Color.

Whoa, so early I thought you said LOIN. Low and slow on that massive beast. More coffee....Owner of LBGE, Antique Komodo Green in Color. Proud Career Firefighter. Johns Creek / South Forsyth GA

If it is one piece it's going to be a whole shoulder. Your cook time will be a lot less than a butt as the length exceeds the diameter.

if it's a whole shoulder, you better have an XL! and if it is, i'd expect a cook time of about 12-15hrs at 250. If it's a cryo pack that says 17lbs, you most likely have 2 7-9 pounders in there....which, will cook in pretty much the exact same time
