somebody shut me the fark up.
Eastern, NC style BBQ is whole hog
Lexington, NC style BBQ is shoulder
My preference is the latter.
One ~9lb butt + One ~11lb picnic = One 20lb Shoulder (or thereabouts)
No trimming required.
Skin left on picnic, fat left on butt
Seasoned with hand harvested Sea Salt (from Naturiffic of course) and a little coarse ground black pepper.
Absolutely nothing else, otherwise we risk offending the BBQ gods and ruining perfectly good pig.
Into the smoker (fat/skin side down)
Now we wait.
