I had a cook that went into the night and I had to get up early. Instead of pulling the shoulder early Monday morning, I let the meat rest and then refrigerated it whole. When I took it out last night to "pull", I discovered that it wasn't going to happen. Too stiff.
It was easy to chop though. It's a different texture but it still tastes great. I ended up with around 20 lbs. of meat so it will be interesting how family and guests react as it's served over the next few months.
