Been a long time since I smoked anything on my bullet. Looking for a little advice on the 10 lb pork picnic I just bought, how much should I trim fat, does it cook like butt. I plan on using wild willy rub with a little apple wood for smoke. Plan on starting tomorrow night around midnite finish Monday afternoon. Thanks Victor
 
Times the same as butts, but the meat is more stringy like a ham roast so
I like to score the skin and baste it and only take it to 180 for slicing.
You want to pull it like a butt, then remove skin for more bark.
Either way it's still good, but not a butt...

Thanks for the reply ! I trimmed quite a bit of skin/fat, pretty thick fat on this picnic! That way my rub and smoke can get to the meat. Didn't think about basting, what would you baste with? how often

When I do picnics I either do Pernil or the Latin roasted pork shoulder from JOY.
The first I baste with Mojo Crillo, second a combo of Red wine vin, oregano, garlic and lime, orange juice.
For regular BBQ, simple water, beer or stock works, but that's with skin on. ( keeps it soft, and it's quite the snack)
If you remove it, then you don't really need to baste it, unless you want to add on layers of flavor.
