Great advice with the crock pot. My mind was stuck on the oven or microwave. Glad I asked. Thanks for the input!

So apparently we're supposed to have rain all day Sunday with periods of sever thunderstorms. So I'm thinking of just smoking it all day Saturday then reheating for Sunday afternoon in the oven probably. How do you guys reheat shoulders so they don't dry out? Should I leave the shoulders...

Great info guys! I'll definitely go with 2 smaller ones as opposed to 1 huge one. That was kind of the direction I was leaning but wanted to hear some opinions from people with more experience and knowledge than myself.

Hey All, I'm new to smoking. This past summer I began watching some programs on it and began dabbling with smoking using my charcoal grill. For Christmas I have decided I want a WSM as my gift. I originally asked for the 18.5" , however my girlfriend ordered me the 14.5" . I kind of feel...
