When I have a hankering for some pig, I need to remember it's just me
and one other.

So when I buy my shoulders from Big Joe and the boys at my favorite
Sam's store, I have them cut the pieces into 7 - 8 pound hunks. Makes
the cooking time shorter, and not so much meat.

As a side benefit, if we have company, I can put two hunks on the pit,
and still have them done in about 8 - 10 hours depending on
conditions. The best part of that is that you have double the surface
area for Mr. Brown, which is what I like best.
