    Cutting up my first pig.

    Nice job man!!!!  You did a great job on that hog. I agree with you that a hog is way easier than butchering deer.   Fresh pork is always the best, I have a good friend that raises hogs and I can't say that I ever remember his ever naming his hogs anything other than Hammy or Pork Chop--LOL!!!!!!

    Shoulder--Skin on or off??

    Thanks for the advice!!!  A few years back I would smoke some roast from hogs that we had butchered that only had one side with skin and they turned out really good, but in this case the shoulder is fully covered in skin.  I think that I am going to skin the shoulder and inject it let it set...
