Pops , where's your Pork poster

The Butt is part of the Shoulder , just the top end. Yes, to your question of can it be pulled or sliced.

I is most likely cut in half already,if not ,ask if your supplier can do that for you. Leave the bone in (IMHO - it makes for a better taste...and...the bone is like Shrimp Shells when they turn Red - automatic thermometer, when it is loose enough to pull out , it's done)

The Fat Cap  I leave on and to the top as it Smokes , renders down nicely.

Butts are forgiving, have fun with it and enjoy. Oh, try asking for case price, it may be a little cheaper
