All trimmed up.  Nice marbling and not too much trimming needed.

At first I thought that was a pigs head on your ...pie pans...ah ha ha ha ha ha...sorry, are the skewers for easy handling? That is a good idea.

It was recommended to me to use these skewers for easy handling and to "stuff" some fat into the shoulder.  Seems to have worked.  Almost ready to pull off the smoker.  Like most of you have said - it's a late night.....But those already asleep won't get first dibs...

Looks good so far...The fun part of making your own rub is laying with it...JJ
 
Well, it truly was an ALL Nighter.  Shoulder came off just as expected. (1.5hr x lb to smoke).  The great thing was that my last check to see if the shoulder was ready - I pulled up on the skewer and the dang thing fell apart...The shoulders ready.

PWrapped in foil, blanket and let rest in a foil lined cooler for 1 hour.

Here's the results -

Fresh off the smoker - Skewers re positioned so it could be moved inside without dropping.
