Default sitting out tonight cooking mystery meat

Went to the grocery didn't see any shoulders then saw something that said picnic shoulder ready to cook. When I opened up smelled like ham, so now I'm outside cooking it prepared it like a shoulder cooking about 225 to 230. Am I doing right? Any suggestions would be helpful. In uncharted waters but getting wet anyway

Picnics are sometimes passed off as hams. See this post.

Here I posted this on the other thread too.

Sounds like you got a picnic shoulder. I have smoked them before however they are not as good as the Boston Butt. The picnic has a higher percentage of ligaments, tendons, connective tissue, etc.

Default mystery meat

It was wraped in mesh under the outer wrapping and why the ham smell?

Was it cured? I find them more often than not that way. I use it (uncured) to make "ham" and split pea soup. It's good, but difficult to pull and is firmer and hammier than the blade cut.

Mesh usually means the bone has been removed. I always see them uncured.

Around here they are labeled as Picnic Hams. It's a front shoulder (picnic) cured like a ham (hind quarter) would be. I use them for bean soup in the winter. It will smoke up fine but, it is already cooked and you are reheating it and adding some real smoke flavor. It's all good.

I'm sure it smelled hammy because it was cured. No problem there. +1 on using with beans.
