I have a friend who works as a food rep selling to restaurants, and through an ordering mishap of his own doing, he is now the proud owner of 60 pounds of beef shoulder. At this point, I don't know how it's packaged, how big each piece is, or whether they're bone-in or boneless. Generally speaking, should I try to cook it up and slice it like a brisket, or shred it. I may bring an update when I know more about what I am dealing with.

Gonna have a party either way.
 
When you will know lat us know as well

In general, with shoulder you think chuck.  When you know how it is cut and packed, you will be able to go from there.

Good luck and good smoking.
 
Qview it and we can help you completely; or just freeze it, dry ice it and ship it... need my address?
