Don't get me wrong. I like a good slow-smoked, true barbecue pork shoulder just as much as the next guy. In fact, i probably like the process way more than the next guy. Still, there are times when we want things a little more streamlined, a little more hands-off, a little more reliable. Not only that, but using a sous vide cooker to cook pork shoulder can allow you to achieve textures you can't get with traditional cooking methods.
