I say cook it until you can fully shred it with little effort. This will render out more of the undesirables from the butts, so you have less picking over to do, and it will save you on labor effort when it's time to pull: you may have to chop up the bark but you won't have to bust out the...
.67 at 200% profit margin is $2.00. .67 at 35% margin is $0.90
But your cost on that slider probably isn't only .67, you have to amortize registration, licensing fees, fuel, insurance, tax, and your time into the item cost.
35% profit on food cost is way off the mark man. You want it to be more like 100%. Make loss leaders if you must to promote your sauce but make it worth your while at least.
$2 per slider is half the price you should be charging. That's basically just over cost depending on a few factors. If you're curious about price, don't make your sign until the day of and then take a walk around and see what your competitors are charging. you may be surprised.

Different things have different names depending upon whom is asked. Surely the word "Denali" wasn't created from scratch by GMC, or do you really think that?
Now here's a guy who's serious about pizza. Flour, oil, tomatoes, ham and oven all imported from Italy.
Camera made in... Japan? wth?
Just kidding. Everything looks great!
I'd say this is mostly a testament to just how sensitive the thermapen is. In a 1" chop or steak there's going to be a huge gradient of temperatures from edge to center to edge. Your hands may not be as precise as you think they are at judging the center of the cut, and the thermapen measures...
So uh,
This food looks great! BUT
according to much literature on tagine cooking the painted glazed ones can be done with lead paint and are for decoration only and not for cooking.
I'd double check the provenance of this cookware before eating off it any more.
Sorry to be such a stick in...

Another tactic to consider is using a pizza screen on top of your stone. Member Tony R has been posting some of this and it looks like he's cooking with the stone right on the grates of the genesis gasser which would normally have the same effect (burned bottom raw top) that you experienced
See...
When I use my pizza stone on my kettle I do two things to prevent what you're talking about:
1. put the lit charcoal around the perimeter of the charcoal grate, not under the stone, and
2. elevate the stone off the cooking grate using firebricks, so that it's only one or two inches under the...
Shay,
What you've got there is probably country style pork ribs. You can smoke em with a rub until tender, or you can smoke for a while and then braise in sauce until tender.
Or you could slice em thin and grill hard, flipping a lot, until tender, and then glaze.
