I like the slightly different muscles in the picnic too, some of the meat is darker and has a different texture than some muscles in the butt end. When doing whole shoulders I leave the skin on the picnic end. Partially for protection from the heat since the meat tapers on the shank end, but also protection from drying out because I inject as much as I can get into the picnic. So if you are used to removing the skin, you might be pleasantly surprised at this roast.
