Adjustments for a small pork shoulder


 
After action report: I tied the two smaller cuts together, so I had two three-pound roasts. I put everything on at 10:30 am, wrapped when it hit 160F around 3 pm and took it off at 4:30 pm when the meat was sitting at 205F. We ate around 6:30 pm.

Pretty happy with this approach, though the meat wasn't as tender as last time I did pulled pork. I suspect that cooking a larger piece of meat that needs to sit on the smoker longer will give everything more time to render and tenderize.

Thanks for all the input. Photos below.
