I'm thinking about bringing pulled pork to a family event (Niece's first communion) this weekend. My idea is to cook the shoulder overnight, I'd need to pull/wrap/faux cambro it around 9 am and hold it until noon or 1 pm.
Is that too long? I saw in another post that 4 hours is about the max for a faux cambro; so I should be ok? I also saw the trick to pre-heat the cooler.
Other questions... My cooker is a MAK 2 Star with the larger Super Smoker Box aka warming box. If the shoulder comes up to my usual pull temp and tenderness test ahead of time, should I let it hang out in the warming box before going in the cambro, or just set the MAK to Smoke setting and let it hang out there?
I've done a few shoulders successfully and have a rough idea on the cook time; but this will be the first time that I need to hit a specific time to serve.
