without a net

[pauldavis62]

I bought a small 3 pound pork (Picnic) shoulder that came with the elastic "net". Should I remove the netting and lay the pork out in the smoker, or leave it rolled up, apply the rub and smoke on?

Leave it on

I like to open up a boneless butt/shoulder and apply rub lightly over all surfaces, then I reroll it and stuff it back in the netting... which is a PITA sometimes... or simply tie it up with my own butchers twine.
Point is, I really like the added flavor of rub cooked in the meat.
It's a s good as injecting it.
