Doing 2 Pork Shoulders

[Dennis Cramer]

I'm doing two 7.5# boneless pork shoulders overnight tonight.

My question is whether to put one on each rack or both on the top rack? If I put one on each rack do I need to rotate them at any point or will they cook evenly? Since it's overnight I'm concerned about having to wake up half-way through to rotate them.

Thoughts?

I did 4 overnight recently, and did not worry about rotating them (came out great) I did have to fefill the water pan though in the middle of the night as the temp started running up.
I bet yours came out excellent as well!

Two butts will fit easily on one rack. No need to rotate.

There is less cleanup if you put them both on the top rack and take out the bottom rack. What can I say, I'm lazy

I'd go with both on the top rack also...No rotating!!!!

I do mine on the top all the time. Works out great.

Got them two on there right now - top shelf. Put them on at 8:45pm and holding temp at 250 right now. Gonna close up the bottom vents a little to drop the temp to 230ish and add a little more water before heading nigh-nigh.

Pullem' tomorrow - have a few sammiches and the rest I'm bringing in to work on Monday.

I am with everyone else - both on the top rack.
