picnic shoulder

[camaromike]

A newbie to smoking, can you use a picnic shoulder for pulled pork.

 

[fatback joe]

Yep. Sure can.

That's usually what I use.
I think they are fabulous for pulled pork.

I use pork shoulders alot. So throw your shoulder into the smoker and then come back in and hit Roll Call so we can give you the warm welcome we like to give to new members.

Absolutely. If I'm feeding a lot of people and want to stretch my dollars, I'll use 2 picnics for each butt i smoke. If I'm just feeding family or close friends, I use strictly butts. Just a personal preference.

Don't forget to stop by Roll Call and Introduce yourself to us and tell us a little about your equipment and experience. It will give everyone a chance to properly welcome you...

Absolutely, I smoke both shoulders and butts.

When I first started, I thought shoulders were "butts" due to my misinterpreting a recipe in a Weber grill cookbook.

Anyhow, I remember some of my best pulled pork w/ homemade bbq sauce was with whole picnics.
