I don't know why I bought them... probably because they were .79 lb.  Never have cooked one on the egg. Do I cook them like a butt?  Will they pull like a butt?  Any suggestions would be helpful....

    Cook them like a butt.  In my experience, it's like leaner pulled pork.  And usually you have to deal with skin.

    Yes just like a butt. If they are skin on I score the skin and it will crisp up and you can pick the pieces off and they taste like crispy bacon.

    If you don't want to deal with the skin, you can remove it without too much effort.  Generally comes off as a whole piece.  FWIW-

    Skin it, smoke it, pull it. 
    Or skip the skin part if you want. I do 5:1 picnics versus butts. Just more common here. Treat it like a butt and enjoy.

    Agree. Score it, work the rub in, and enjoy crispy skin candy when you pull it from the cook.  =)
