Howdy -My Fathers Day Stoker showed up today, and I am going to put it to work tomorrow.I have a done a number of butts, but now have a full shoulder, including skin and weighing in at 17.5 lbs., and now have a couple of questions:1) Skin up or down? 2) 225 grid temp, like a butt, right? 3) How many hours? I normally do the butt for 20+. Is this a 30 hour deal?Thanks,J
20stone, I agree with AZRP on two of the three questions, yet I like fat up when I smoke Shoulders and briskets. Yet I am sure that everyone is different. some flip half way through. I like that the fat as it renders, has to travel over the meat. It seems to me like it is self basting. Like basting a turkey while it is roasting. Hoss
