    Pork shoulder question

    They definitely told you right. Sometimes a stall can be agonizing and take forever. If u want pulled meat, just get internal temp to 205. If ur pressed for time, you can foil to get thru the stall. Does anyone have a link to something that will help me calculate enough food for 50 ppl?
