Skewered sirloin cap is the usual way we get our meat fix on Saturday evenings at the motorcycle club facilities as we chat the night away with friends. Simple but supremely tasty.

I celebrated the start of the mussels season yesterday"It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."

Looking for some tips from some of the Kamado users out there, please!
We are doing a BBQ for about 20 this weekend to celebrate my wifes birthday, and she wants pulled pork. Normally when I do this number of people at work, I get two 2.5kg (5.5lbs) pork butts, start at about 6am and we are eating by around 7pm after a rest. All I could get this time was a 6kg bone in pork shoulder, so I assume it will take significantly longer than 2 x 2.5kgs. She wants to eat at around 5pm, so I am thinking of putting it on at around midnight, then when its done (I'm guessing mid morning?) ill wrap it in foil and pop it in a cooler until i need to pull it later on.
What do you guys think?

@Alex Last time I did pork butt/shoulder it finished about 2 hours early,so I sprayed it really good with a 50/50 mixture of apple juice and water,while it was sitting in the foil, then finished wrapping it,put it in the oven at about 180 degrees and forgot about it until my guests arrived. I thought for sure it was going to be awful, after taking it out and letting it rest it was ultimately the best one I had ever done. In terms of taste,texture and consistency. Not sure if this is a viable option for you. I was also spraying during the cook.

@Alex Reply #2 I’m thinking that you need about an hour per pound and at 13.2 pounds,if you start at 12 you’re probably taking it off at about 1:30. I’ve never seen one that big. I know it would be a pain but maybe start about 3,then go back to sleep. Good luck and keep us posted.

This is helpful, thank you!

Do you have access to a (good sized) slow cooker? Given the need to feed on time, i would (and have recently) cooked the pork the day before, then reheated in the SC which will maintain the moisture levels. Takes the variability out, and if anything, tastes better the next day…

6kg bone in might take 14h easy, depending on the intermuscular fat. Is it good quality pork? I'm guessing it is since you got 6kg of it, that's not a small one. Either way,if you start at midnight, you'll have time to spare. Try not to get a rub with too much sugar, they tend to burn on longer cooks, even at low temp.
