Pulled pork -- do you separate the money muscle?

Posts: 994
When I judge at a contest I always anticipate getting a piece of the money muscle from a butt, but when I make it at home I never bother. I just mix it in with the rest. Do most people mix or separate?

Mix it all up. I've seen the money muscle on the shows, but don't even know how to take it out if I wanted to.
