Trimming the fatcap
It looks like I need to make 2 pork butts, one fat side up and the cut off some of the fat cap and see how it changes :) I have a pan I normally set it in when I unwrap and shred it. I had wondered about pouring out the liquid and try to cut off some of the remaining fat cap back into the foil... -

How much pulled pork for how many people...
I talked to a few meat markets and one told me they sell boneless shoulders to their customers, save weight on the bone, and quoted me $2.85/lb. The other place I talked to quoted bone in shoulders and was around $2.25/lb . I like not hassling with the bone considering how much I'm smoking, but... -

Trimming the fatcap
Has anyone trimmed the fat cap on pork shoulders? I feel like the last few butts I've smoked up have come out extra fatty in the end. Or should I try smoking fat side up? I normally go fat side down and wrap in the 165 range. I'm going to look over my next one better and may consider taking... -

How much pulled pork for how many people...
Funny thing about that, most of the butts I find average 7-8 pounds and he told me to just buy 10. If I go that route, I think I'm going to end up with 70+ pounds and maybe closer to 80. I also think 80 is going to max the budget unless I find a smoking deal between now and March 13th. Now to... -

How much pulled pork for how many people...
I was asked if I could make pulled pork for my boys Boy Scout Blue and Gold banquet, I said sure why not. I've found a few formulas to give rough amount of meat needed. From what I've found and figured up, I think I need about 50 lbs (last year had 125 people, I was told to plan for 150 or so)... -

Smoking partially thawed shoulder
Yeah, never went back to sleep. It went on the smoker at 4am, it's now going on 1pm and is up to 164 with the temp set at 250. It should have no problem being done before dinner. -

Smoking partially thawed shoulder
Thanks everyone! I'll check on it in a few hours - wide awake at 330am for some ungodly reason - and decide whether to toss it on today or start it early Sunday. -

Smoking partially thawed shoulder
Through a miscommunication with my wife, she pulled a shoulder out of the freezer to thaw since I mentioned making pulled pork. I don't expect it to be fully thawed when I put it on the smoker. My question is everything will be fine, right? Not being thawed completely just adds to the cook... -

Pit Boss Copperhead ErL error code?
I must have the oddball PitBoss 5 series - I had the ERL code early on, replaced the temp probe and its been fine ever since. I've been careful and cleaning off the temp probe and I try not to get it wet when I'm filling the water pan. It's been a great smoker for me.- MelonSC
