This weekend I'll be doing my first pork shoulder. I am currently defrosting a 13.65 lb. Cryovac package, so there will be two pieces of meat about 6.8 lbs each. I don't know if this includes a bone. I'll be using the mustard recipe for both as well as the Minion Method with two full chimneys and 5-6 chunks of soaked pecan wood. I am planning on about 10-11 hours @ about 240-250*. I'm shooting for an internal temp of 175 - 190*.
Questions:
Does this sound about right?
I'll be putting the meat on about 6:00 AM. If the meat is done sooner, how should I store it (tin foil?) and for how long?
Do I need to trim the fat cap?
How much shrinkage can I expect and how many will this amount of meat feed? -- We'll be having pulled pork sandwiches.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
