    Hello. Indianapolis guy here.

    My first encounter with this forum has been very good, as documented in my first thread. Great group of folks and a lot of fun. I'm a 67-year-old man with terminal cancer. Could be six months or six years, one of those kind of things. I can't eat as much as I used to, but I still enjoy food...

    Twenty-seven-pound pork shoulder

    It took 18 hours and that's with turning the temp up to 250 and 275 this morning. Pitmaster's privilege tells me it tastes good, but the pit master's wife got the first bite.

    Twenty-seven-pound pork shoulder

    We are at 14.5 hours now, and it is just starting to come out of the stall. I also had problems (in the middle of the night, of course) with Jealous Devil lump charcoal getting caught in the hopper of the Masterbuilt 560. I lost a little time there, but not really much. I've bumped the...

    I was gonna smoke one of these tomorrow but it’s so big I decided to start tonight. Masterbuilt 560 lit and heat up to 225.

    Twenty-seven-pound pork shoulder

    And the answer is: two really huge butts. Maybe a matched set. When I first cut it open I thought it was four pieces. But it's only two. So, who is the winner?

    Twenty-seven-pound pork shoulder

    I won't be opening it up until tomorrow evening. I'm leaning towards thinking it is a boston butt + picnic roast all in one. Assuming that is the case, I'll cut off the boston butt end and smoke it for pulled pork. The other end I plan to portion in two pieces. I wonder if it will really make...

    And I am sorry the photos show up twice. Not sure how that happened.

    Twenty-seven-pound pork shoulder

    We are ordering our groceries for pick up these days. I put in an order for a pork shoulder, expecting a 7-9 piece of butt for making pulled pork. What I got weighs 27 pounds. I haven't opened it yet, but it appears to be a single piece. It seems to have the typical blade bone near one end and I...
