popedaddy,
skin? I assume you mean fat cap - just leave it on - it will render during the long cook and enhance the meat. As for me I always place the butt so the fat cap is on top.

popedaddy,
A shoulder has skin, a butt does not...[p]Wess

Sorry I meant shoulder I guess i'm screwed now!! Don't know how to do a shoulder is it the same as a butt??>?

popedaddy,[p]The shoulder cooks pretty much the same as the butt. If you want bark and more smoke flavor, cut off the skin and rub up as you would the butt. If you don't, leave the skin on or score it and the shoulder will still turn out very good bbq.[p]john
