Hey guys, I am supposed to be cooking for a large event. They want pulled pork, and instead of pork butt, they brought me two large pork cushions. One at 14.5 lbs and at a little over 15 lbs. As far as I can tell they cook pretty similarly to butts, but I have concerns about the cook time and how well this will translate to pulled pork. My plan is to put a rub on them tonight after work (thursday), let them sit till after work and get them on the Bull by tomorrow night (Friday). Then I will have till at least from around 7pm Friday night until around 3 or 4 pm Saturday to have them smoked at 225°, rested and pulled. BTW this is only my second cook on the recteq. These things look like they have a ton of fat on the outside, but from what I have read they don't have much in the way of marbling, so I have worries about cooking too hot and drying them out.
Does anyone see any possible issues I may run into? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I also plan to wrap them in foil once they stall to help shorten the cooking time.
