    A question on pork shoulders

    I have a 4# and 5# heritage pork shoulder (I think they are Blackfoot). I don't see a lot of marbling. Thoughts on what temp to pull at? Other pork from this farmer is sometimes a bit tough when pulling after 2 hr. Faux cambro. Pic of shoulders attached.

    TIA for thoughts! Click image for larger version

    I'm thinking injecting to add moisture and after you get a good bark wrap it to retain the moisture. Pull around 200-205 and cambro longer 3-4hrs.

      When they are done. 😊
      Seriously, start checking at 190 and go for probe tender. But my guess would be it would be around 205. Maybe consider a wet brine?

          I always pull mine at 203 and haven't been disappointed yet.

            I don't disagree, but he's talking about a shoulder from a farmer that has been known for tougher meat, and his has little marbling. I don't think he can depend on 203 being a sure thing.

            I use 203 as a guideline and probe tenderness as the ultimate test. But with these being so lean, I don't want to ruin a great protein!
