I've smoked pork shoulders for pulled pork sandwiches many times with great
results. My daughter's 16th birthday party is coming up, and she told me she
wants me to smoke one--her friends all love my BBQ. 8-)

Normally, I smoke them for about 12 hours at 225-250. I use a Grilldome ceramic
smoker, so adding coals doesn't need to happen until at least 8 hours later. Up
till now, I get up around 5:00AM, and start smoking. We eat around 7:00PM that
day.

We've decided to have her party at noon on a Saturday. I'm thinking about
starting the shoulders around 10:00PM on Friday night and staying up until
midnight to make sure everything is OK. Then off to bed until 6:00AM and check
the smoker.

Do you folks do this as well?
