I'm in S Korea for a year - too long to go smoke free, so I aquired a pair of shoulders for an all-nighter. The folks out here with me loved it. Working with a 22.5" Weber; it's all I have, but it gets it done.
I am guessing since it was vacumed sealed it may have been a thin layer of fat. It could be skin when I smoke picnic roasts they come with the skin on I just skin them and smoke them. Either way those are some nice looking butts.One thing that I found odd about those shoulders when I took them out the the vac sealed bag - they still had the skin on. All the butts I bought in Ohio were skinless. I skinned them before seasoning and smoking, so no problem. Has anyone else bought shoulders "skin on"?
