Question about my butt...

I put a 5 pounds pork shoulder about 4 hours ago and now, it is very firm. I don't remember having that kind of reaction so I was wondering if it's normal. The meat is now at around 140.
Thanks
 
Still have a ways to go! probably another 6+ hours. AND QUIT PEEKING!

It's just getting warmed up. Go to the drug store and get a patience pill. Better yet, go to the liquor store and get them there in bottles. You've got a ways to go. Looking will only make you have to wait longer. I understand you are getting hungry. Keep cool. It'll be worth the wait.
 
It's raw. Butts cooked traditional style can take from 12 - 16 hours. Really. A 5 pounder maybe 10-12. Also, if you're watching the temp, they tend to lock in at 160 for what seems like forever.

To tell you the truth I was a little afraid to open this post. Thought it might say 'does it look fat in these jeans?' LOL

Lol true Bill. I openly laughed when I saw it but because of where we are, I kind of figured it would be ok!
 
Thanks guy for the tips. So I didn't take any chances and went to the liquor store for beer and whisky and also went to the drug store for pills. Now can someone tell me when I'll stop buzzing. I've had 6 beers and two pills saturday at noon and still can't wake up properly:-)
