    I have divided pork shoulders into two parts to get more bark. The aggravating thing I found was that it did not significantly reduce the cook time. Also, what you describe sounds fine, but pork shoulder cooked to fall apart tender and pulled is a great thing to add to chili without having to finish cooking it in the chili. In other words, you can just add fully cooked pulled/chopped pork to chili and it's wonderful.

    You should be fine. Not only does it cook faster, you will have more bark.

    Cooking that pork butt in two halves

    Aiming for 2 meals in one by splitting an 8 lb. pork shoulder in two (half is for chili verde w/smoked pork, half to be pulled and frozen in meal-sized portions). The first half cooks to 120 internal (it'll simmer for 3 1/2 more hours in the chili); I'll leave the second half on to get to the normal 203ish. Anyone slow-cooked a butt that's been halved like this? Since it's much less bulk, will I be in danger of getting to temp with the second half with a less than desirable result? Btw, cooking on the SnSDK. Lump coal.
