Cook em eggzactly like a butt.

should I remove or score the thick rind??
How 'bout "pork rinds"? :woohoo: -
Dow...You can go either way with the rind. I normally will cut half off for chiccarones (rinds) and leave the other half as a moisture cap. Tossing the shoulder under the broiler for a couple minutes before serving will crisp that cap/rind up nicely too......just beware of the fights that can break out as a result.... :woohoo: :laugh:

LOL, who usually wins at your house?? :evil:
what if I cut it off and lay on top?? -
The rind is my favorite part.After cooking and pulling the meat I put the rind in the oven to crisp up and make homemade pork rinds/cracklins.

My local market has picnics much more often than whole butts. So that's what I most often use for PP. You can do them with skin on, scored or off. I've done them each way. What I prefer is cutting off as little of the skin as possible, leaving most of the fat. (Even with a sharp knife, a good bit of work) That makes a good bark. I coat the large areas of open meat at both ends with oil. Then rub the whole thing with Dizzy Dust coarse. Cook till 195 internal, which often happen quite quickly compared to butts, about 1 hour per pound. Your time may vary.

That's good to know. When I cut off the cooked rind, and tried eating it, well, tasty shoe leather. A second round of cooking never entered my mind. Thanks
