(b) When the purchase option is âin-the-moneyâ, the amount recognized as the cost basis for the purchased asset on exercise of the purchase option is lower than the value of the fixed asset (see Appendix B for an illustration). This is especially pronounced when the option is considered a bargain.
3. Smoke the pork shoulder for about 1 hour per pound, or until the internal temperature of the thickest portion of the shoulder is 180 degrees F or so. If I want pulled pork, I will usually bring the temperature up to 190 degrees F or so. The meat pulls apart much easier when I do.
If you smoke on the higher end of the temperature range subtract about 10 minutes per pound. This means a ten-pound pork shoulder can take 15 hours to finish. Many people find it difficult to maintain a good temperature for this long and choose to wrap the pork in foil and place it in the oven.
