I am cooking a pork shoulder on a rotisserie this weekend.  I have never done this before and have a few questions.

1. What height above the coals should I set the spit?

2. Will I need to wrap the shoulder in chicken wire or will it hold together ok?

3.  How long do I cook it for?  Is it  "X" many minutes per pound?

4.  When reading the internal temperature I heard that bones conduct heat.  Where should I stick the thermometer?

Many thanks.

Grilling is like shooting. Practice, practice and practice some more.

Just stick it in the thickest part and don't touch the bone.  Let it go to 170 degrees.  I don't know the hight or tempurature answers though.

Do one today or tomorrow as a test then you should know all the answers.  I love pork.

This weekend is the test.  I'm not under the gun to produce a meal for many people.  Just practicing.  I thought I could get some answers here before I screwed anything up.
