Hey Guys Happy Summer!

I'm gonna smoke either a boston butt or a picnic shoulder tommorow am. I was wondering if i should trim the fat cap(rind) off the shoulder or can i leave it on there. It was a pain last time and i;d rather leave it on if i can. If i can get BB's I will, but I might have to go the Picnic Shoulder route if the butcher isnt open. Thanks.
 
Mickey,
I'd do a Boston Butt and I don't trim anything at all. I cook 'em fat cap down and NEVER turn 'em over, NEVER remove the top section of the WSM, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER.
 
OKAY THANKS CHARLES! YEAH I WAS JUST THINKING IF BB'S WERENT AVAILABLE. BUT I GUESS ILL WAIT TIL IT OPENS AND START THE SMOKE A LITTLE LATER
