I've done a lot of cushions. They sell them at Gordon's for about a nickel a pound more than butts. Their butts come in double packs, and sometimes I don't have that much room in my freezer. The cushions are smaller -- a pack of 3 equals 1/2 a butt pack. I cook the exactly like I do butts. They don't have the fat cap, but they have really nice marbling, so have had no problem with dryness, and the extra bark is a plus.
