Title: Favor to ask
Post by: Shoestringshop on March 16, 2017, 10:53:23 AM: Hello all, just asking if all of you could wish the best of luck for a great friend of mine “Dave” that just found out he has spinal cancer. This guy has taught me more about cooking than anyone I have known. He is now unable to even lift 10Lbs.

I know he loves to BBQ so I offered to cook him up some pork shoulder he had in his freezer. He had bought this 1 week before finding out. He said that would be great. So today being a slow day I took it off to BBQ him up a 10Lb pork shoulder. My plan is to pull, then vacuum seal the majority of the shoulder into even bag as he lives by himself. His wife pasted a couple of years back from GD! Cancer!

I put the shoulder on at 12:30 CST and plan to pull it off about 9:30 -10:00PM tonight. I spay with a mix of Apple Juice, Apple Cider Vinegar, and Beer every 1.5hrs; I’ll pull it around 11:00 then let it cool some more before going into the refrigerator overnight; last but not least I’ll vacuum seal the portions in the morning.

I hope this turns out as good as my others!

Shoulder rubbed with John Henry's Old Stockyard Rub

I want to post some more pictures but photobucket.com SUCKS!

Please Say a Little Prayer for him.

Thanks
Dan

My father beat prostate cancer about 8 yrs ago and I lost my father in law about 18 months ago to pancreatic cancer. We will keep Dave in our prayers and wish you the best with your cook.

Post by: Shoestringshop on March 16, 2017, 06:19:47 PM: Hello all, I would like to say thanks to everyone! I told Dave about all the responses and he said thanks and said I have a bunch of great guys in our group. This I know👍

The shoulder is coming along well. Had a stall for a bit but in its smallest part is 180 and thickest part 165. I think about 1.5hrs and should be good.

Thanks again to all for the support.
