BI Pork Shoulder Roast

[Burly567]

My market has bone in pork shoulder roasts on sale. What would be different in smoking a boneless roast??

Either one works.. I like the bone in because it acts as a thermometer ( Bone slides out, it's done ).. Also the boneless i've smoked tend to not hold their shape .(You can tie the roast up to prevent that ).

I do them both. With boneless you end up cutting off some small hanging pieces and tying it up to get even cool temps. Kroger has bone in this week for $0.99

Burly, please keep us posted on your roast, pictures would be great also.
Our local market also have bone in butts for $.99per pound this week as well, they run butts at that price quite often.

Hopefully this isn't a dead thread.

I've laid out my BI Pork Shoulder Butt. Probably going to take a few days to thaw.

After reading several threads I'm going to try a pull on it. If I have any trouble with it I'll go to 150°F and slice.

I'll try real hard to remember to take pics.

Not quite sure what you mean above. You mention "pull" first, which is usually 200-207F internal temp, then you mention slicing at 150F. Please clarify. Thanks.

I was considering a pull on it at around 205-210. If time becomes a problem then I will slice. I'll see how long it takes to get to 150 in this cold weather. If it takes 10-11 hours I'll pull it out of the smoker and slice.

Can always use the oven to finish .
