I gave the bone a wiggle and it was loose but not fall apart. The shoulder was still relatively firm which made me suspect a thermometer issue. I have had it back in the oven at 225 and it’s sort of back on track with what I would have expected. It was stalled at 170 for a few hours. At 180 now... -

Update - could use some advice. Started this thing yesterday at 4. Everything went like clockwork. Got it wrapped at 145 IT when I went to bed and pit was at 250 on way to 225. Cooked it at 250 until out of danger zone. Woke up at 4am and Thermometer was saying 210 IT. I pulled it off the egg... -

Ok I’m gonna get to this thing in a bit and open it up and post. If it is in 2 or I can get it cut can I safely inject and cook at 225? If I can’t get it in two will I need to cook at a higher temp to get above danger zone? I always inject my shoulders but worried about this one... -

I have not opened it but is appears to be one piece. Like I said - it was supposed to be 14lbs so I was surprised too. Here is a picture of it with my hand for size reference. I am not 100% but it feels like one piece. What do you guys think? I’m not sure if I will be able to find a place to cut... -

Help smoking large pork shoulder
Hi everyone- I ordered a 14lb pork shoulder the other day and for some reason a 25lb beast showed up. I’ve never smoked one so large and could use some advice/help! Typically I would inject, rub, and then smoke at 225 until around 150 IT, then put in a pan with some apple juice and foil. At 200...
