My cousin and her husband had a gender reveal party over the weekend for the little one on the way and I volunteered to do the cooking. This was also my first go at pork shoulders, two eight pounders... Needless to say they came out absolutely perfect.
A total of 17 hours in the pit. Put them in at 8Am hit my stall at about 3-4 Oclock at 145 internal and it slowly crept to 153 over a 5-6 hour window then I foiled them at 153 around 9-10 oclock and then pulled them at 1pm (205F) foiled wrapped and in the cooler til 3pm shredded and finished with a super tasty cider vinegar finishing sauce then into the fridge for the following day.
Oh and in case anyone was wondering, it's a boy!
Here's the butts unpackaged and cross hatched because mo bark is mo better

Butts rubbed down, I went with jeffs rub on these. First time using that rub and MAN! Was it tasty

And what the heck might as well enjoy a morning Cohiba with a French press full of a papanu geanu roast
