I never poke, but will punch them lying on the counter. It's like therapy, just make sure you use quality zipper bags. lol :)
As far as marinade goes, I came across this on Google, and it's divine: Mix equal parts soy, Worchestershire, and balsamic vinegar. I usually use 1/4 cup as my 'part'...
Definitely remove the skin. I try to leave a thin (1/8 inch) layer of fat, but I'm Southern, and enjoy pork fat (probably to a fault lol). Also, on large cuts, the interior doesn't really get super smoky; when you pull or shred, the smoky exterior parts distribute their awesomeness to the rest...
Pulled and done. :)
Edit to add: I give a hearty Southern +1 to Stubb's Natural briquettes $7.87 for a 15 lb bag, produced in Brentwood TN (that's funny, cause it's the Beverly Hills of Nashville lol), of all places. Just went out to feed the dog, and I'll be damned if my smoker wasn't...

The Missus's mother sent home a bowl of pecans, so we're smoking those, too.
3 racks of St. Louis trimmed spares (our local grocer trims them and includes the trimmings in the package, so they were cooked and pulled apart for beans and such). Smoked for 3 hours yesterday, then foiled in the oven for 2 hours. Went in the fridge overnight, then in the oven while the smoker...
