Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.

If you want to make God laugh tell him your plans.

I bought a small one about 4 lbs. I'm thinking about sous vide for 6 hours and smoking for 4 in my Weber tallboy. Smoking in the Weber takes constant monitoring and feeding. Rubbing the shoulder and using the sous vide helps with imparting the seasoning.

Looks great.  I hear ya on the peeling.  I'll go bacon-less before I peel another belly.  OK, maybe not.

Gotta love the A-maze-N smoker gadgets.  They are now my only source of smoke in both my smokers and all my grills.

Got the 4.49 lb shoulder in the sous vide bath at 6 AM. I'll plan on taking it out around noon and may smoke for 6 hours. Scraped out the Weber and got it all cleaned up. Got the hickory chunks soaking in a pail of water for an hour.

I'll be using a long-burning Thai rambutan Thaan charcoal as the base under the chunks. It's hard to light because of its density. But once you let it get fully lit in the chimney, it'll burn for 5 or 6 hours. This is similar to Binchotan Japanese charcoal used for hibachi, but rambutan is sustainable with similar characteristics. https://www.thaancharcoal.com/about

That might work really well in my BGE I would think.  Where did you get that?

I used to sell it in my previous life. You can buy it here: https://www.thaancharcoal.com/shopthaan

No, it's like charcoal but a little more dense. It takes some tending to get it fully involved. But one it's going, you're good for several hours. If at the end of 5 hours I want to smoke more, I just throw on some regular charcoal.
