Favor to ask

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!

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

Please Say a Little Prayer for him.

Thanks
Dan

Thoughts and prayers sent.   He will enjoy the pork butt. That would be very special to me for a friend to make what I love. I'm sure he feels the same and nice work.

Cancer sucks😠
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.

Cancer Sucks but he can beat it!!  Time to kick ass!!  Thoughts and prayers coming from a 4 year survivor of kidney cancer.   I got through with lots of prayers and well wishes and I know he will make it through as well!!

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.
