I have one thawing in the fridge, well, it is suppose to be thawing. It is has been 2 days and still rock hard. But I was gonna get someone else's idea this time to smoke the meat.

Debone your Butt, slice it into 1/2" thick slices sear them in a cast iron skillet with olive oil and rough chopped onion. Then place them in a dutch oven pour the skillet juice over the top and bake for about an hour at 350° you will love it.

check out my carne guisada recipe go to 190 internal- slice some,pull some, do my carne w/ some & skin the barque & a bit more & do the bacon wrapped,pork/steamed, rice/pepperjack cheese, smoked onion, bell peppers.if ya need a recipe just ask. it's pretty easy- the rice ya would simmer- fer 1/2 the water- use the pork drippings.add that,smoked onion diced,& mushrooms to shredded pork & stuff a bell ppepper w/ pepperjack cheese or baby swiss a splash of beer or wine & wrap in bacon...

In addition to that, Alton Brown had a show the other night where he showed the various thawing processes. He did side by side testing of the fridge, cold water, 200D oven, and cool RUNNING water. The cool running water beat all of them. He explained that water is more dense than air, and is therefore more efficient. By making it running water, you add the benefits of convection. Give it a shot.
 
Rub it and put it out there frozen. Just account for a little more time, it will turn out pretty much the same texture (very small difference from my experience), but you will get a much better smoke ring.

Beyond that I would have to see a picture of your butt to offer any other advice.

Really what else is there, pulled, sliced and spice when smokin ? I think Deer Meat had a good one. I had injected one once upon a time with zatterans shrimp/crab boil and rubbed with pro boil (Cajun Spice) and smoked till 165 wrapped in foil with the ol apple juice and brought to 195 and let rest a couple hours It was real good and real spicy. Or you could massage olive oil on your butt and stick it the sun till it warms up haha.
 
Geez Lisa, how long you gonna torture us poor fellas? And where is your husband with that big ole green bucket of a** whup that he should oughtta be dumpin all over ya?

What did you have in mind? Sounds like you don't want to pull it.

You could smoke/roast it like a pork roast ...
or you could cut it up pack it in a casing and make lunchmeat ...
or grind it and make sausage ..
or debone it, tie it up and make a smoked parma style ham
or make a buckboard bacon ...

I think butts are the most versatile meat we can buy
 
That's what they say out on 8 Mile...heh.
Seriously, it IS versatile, but since hanging out here, smoked and pulled is it. Well, I did do a copacolla once...phew, too much patience required
