Hey all; I was just talking with a buddy about BIG size  pork  butt.
We have come to a difference of opinion as to how big a butt can be.
Who can help me out with a true maximum size that  a butt will hit. 
TIA

    It is hard to say what it could be, but the biggest I have seen in the store is about 10.5 lbs.  The butt is just 1/2 of the shoulder.  I don't know if there is any guideline as to where they cut it.  A butcher/processor could move this line way to the left and package it as a 14 lb butt.  



    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.
