Here's the picnic mid-cook, starting to take on some color.
About two-thirds of the way through the cook, I removed the skin from the picnic, and crisped it up on the gas grill. The skin was pretty leathery at first and the fat took a while to render out, but once that happened, the skin blistered and became crispy.
Here's the crispy skin chopped up into little bits, to be added back into the mix once the picnic finished cooking:
Here's the finished product. For a change of pace, I went with a finely chopped texture instead of the usual pulled...
Finally, some plain ol' spares smoked in sugar maple wood...
