    Cooking for 20...figured a half rack and 1 large sandwich per person.Will probably do 12 racks and 2 6-7lb shoulders...may be easier to do shoulders alone,then ribs by themselves...just not settled on temps for this MES 40...maybe 270 for shoulder and 250 for ribs????Any suggestions??

    Redneck Math Question...

    ok...so it sounds like I am acting as if I'm cooking only a single shoulder...the other shoulder has no bearing on each other...so I can cook both in around ten hrs. total...or until IT is 200....thanks much!
