I am thinking about smoking two pork shoulders (prob 16-18 lbs total) in my wsm. Any insight on how long it will extend cooking time over a single shoulder?
I smoked a 9 lb shoulder once and it took forever....prob 14-15 hours. Cooked at 225 and didn't wrap. Will bump the temp this time to 250-275 and will likely wrap at 160.
Lastly, how much hotter is the lower rack (guessing 10 degrees) and should I rotate the shoulders when I wrap?
This will only be my 4th cook so I am still learning!
Thanks!

Why not just do both on the top? Plenty of room

Plenty of room on top. I just did 2 on top and a full brisket below.

Guess that makes sense. I thought they wouldn't fit

Any insight how much longer 2 shoulders will take vs one?

I haven't noticed any longer time.

Fuel consumption goes up a little but time and temp remain the same.

You're welcome. For example, I have to run Vents more open when it is completely full of meat to maintain temp. Especially the first 5 hours. Hence the added fuel consumption. But as long as a temp is maintained the meat cooks just the same.

I hope we get so see some "Pork Pics" from this cook....
I like Pork pics... :D
Decided to do a couple pork tenderloins instead....didnt feel like getting up early! Used some honey, brown sugar, and plowboys yardbird rub. Here is a pic about 30 min in (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171028/946f8e9d2aadec5c1cdf336732e1720b.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171028/0a6992f302e0c6eca5a4c80445921384.jpg)

Finished product- pretty pleased. Probably left on the smoker a bit long, but my thermo seems to be inconsistent so I error on the side of caution (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171028/a6f99300f35ff43f03ae3775580e922e.jpg)
