Sorry for the late pictures

Christmas Day I did a fresh Pork Shoulder (5.6 lbs.)
and a Prime Rib Roast (6.7lbs.)

They seemed almost the same size, but the beef was heavier....

Pork going on....

Sorry.... I am not big on plated pictures with sides. I know... no pic=no cook so...
imagine the imaginary green been casserole, yams, taters and turnip.

Excellent job Joe! Those pics proved you cooked! What temp did you cook the shoulder to, to get to slicing instead of shredding?

Thanks all for the kind words...

Took the pork to 195. Was scared it was going to be dry, but it was actually very tender and fairly moist.
My Paw-in-Law was over for dinner and he's a major stickler about his Pork being WELL done hence the
reason for the 195.

I did shred some left over today and mixed with some sauce and made a sammi with coleslaw....mmmmmmmm

The beef came off at about 118
