Hey all! I was a bit of a dingus and ordered a pork shoulder to be delivered today. It was *supposed* to be 17 lbs, and I was confident I could get it defrosted and smoked by Monday afternoon/evening.

Well turns out I'm a dingus and unlucky/(lucky?). I got a 23lb bone in pork shoulder totally frozen that I'm trying to get dethawed so I can toss it on the smoker sometime Sunday. Right now the internet is just telling me water bath or bust. I've got it in a cooler with water, tossed in some ice, and got the sous vide hooked up to circulate the water.

Any tips or advice? I really don't want to have to try and smoke this thing in the middle of next week, but if I do, I'm sure I'll survive. With my current set up, should i still refresh the water? I'm running low on ice to keep tossing in, and worried about over night. I could always put it in the fridge, and start up the water bath again in the morning.

I appreciate your input, and hope everyone's off to a great Memorial Day weekend!
