BBB is cured & smoked Pork Butt.
It's done similar to Belly Bacon, but it actually has more flavor. IMO

Yes and no. You want to have some fat so that is the no. You can cure and smoke any but it is rally not bacon as you know it. Like a loin would be Canadian bacon.
Happy smoken.

Not Really.
Pork Loin would be Canadian Bacon.
Pork Belly would be Belly Bacon.
Pork Jowls would be Jowl Bacon.
Pork Ribs would be Bacon-On-A-Stick.
Pork Shoulder or Boston Butt would be Buckboard Bacon.

Thanks....your answer leads to my next question, Boston Butt the same as a regular Butt??
LOL:
You got Fat Butts, Good looking butts, sagging butts, etc, etc.
However in Hogs, I would have to say IMO a Boston Butt is a fancy name for a Pork Butt, and they are the best part of the Shoulder.
I could be wrong on that, because I never really cared----I just get the "Boston Butt".

Here's another story I found for you:
The most simple way to look at it is that the whole shoulder is made up of two separate cuts, the butt and the picnic. The picnic is the portion closest to the knee where the butt is the portion closest to the spine of the animal, ie. furthest from the knee. Normally a Boston butt will be rectangular in shape. The picnic tends to look like a cone, with one side being larger and a smaller side having the look of an actual leg, bone and all. The Boston butt can be sold with the bone still in or boneless.

I like to cut the money muscle (aka Coppa) from the Butt and use the rest for sausage. I'll use the Coppa for pulled pork, a pork roast, or curing as Buckboard Bacon.
$1.59??????
Holy $%^&*------Never under $2.19 around here!!!
That's why my BBB Step by Steps are so old!!!

So what else can I make with a butt? Beyond ribs and bacon neither one of us is much of a fan of pork. In my case it is because growing up when ever my mom cooked pork it was beyond dry. Hoping that my opinion changes with me smoking it. I Have had some pulled pork in the past that I liked.

Other than BBB or Butt Ham, you can make Pulled Pork.
Here is a Step by Step on that:
Pulled Boston Pork Butt
However that Hawaiian stuff (above) has to be Awesome!!
