OK Tom, So what is the conclusion? If you are going to make PP, what are you going to buy?

Nice looking PP! I prefer the butt but my dog likes the shoulder cause she gets more bone to chew on

Only because the cost is 50 cents less per pound I will go with Shoulders, well maybe. Even cost is hard to decide because if you look at the pics you can see I ended up with pulled pork from the butt.

Both looks very good to me!! I've only done shoulders because thats what they have at costco.  Looks like i'm not missing out on anything since they both look the same.
