Hey Sled does your girlfriend drive a Honda? Does she play work out tapes by Fonda? Oh yeah, Fonda (besides being a communist) does not have an engine in the back of her Honda...

Picnics are usually boneless, right? I think the bone-in adds a lot of flavor to meat.

 

[Papa Hogg]

Picnics have more bones than the butts do, unless you buy the boneless variety...

Personally I prefer the Boston Butt. (aka Pork Shoulder Blade Roast)
To me it seems to have a milder flavor that a picnic

Here ya go:
Sweet Heat Mop:
12oz. Texas Pete 2 Cups Apple Juice 1 Cup Cider Vinegar
1 Cup Catsup 1 Cup Cane Syrup 1 Cup Lt. Brown Sugar
3 Tbls. Lemon Juice
Combine in Pot, Simmer on low for 30 Minutes
I like to mop with it and to mix it with the pork after it's pulled.

If you need that much, you should buy some of each and mix them together. That way you get the whole shoulder which IMHO tastes better than one part by itself.

[MostlySmoke]

I likes da butt!

 

[Lowbrass]

I am a butt man myself.

I used to only smoke picnics due to price and availability, but then switched to the Boston Butt.
I like the butt better because it has way less bone to deal with, less fat (yes, there can be too much fat), no skin to mess with (it never occured to me to remove the skin, duh), and it looks better in my NBBD.:mrgreen:
I will do a picnic again, if I can't get a Boston Butt for the right price.
