I am going to be doing a pork and venison shoulder on the bullet tomorrow. A friend said that they had a hog butchered and would give me one of the butts to smoke. I got it home yesterday and it looked like a small country ham w/ more fat on it than I am used to seeing. And since it looked small, she also threw in a ham, which looked almost the same. They were still frozen, but I am not familar with "freshly butchered" cuts. The skin is real thick, and it just doesn't look as appetizing as the butts from Sams. Can and how can I proceed? I am thinking about stopping by Sams on the way home and picking up some butts b/c I don't like the way these look. Anyone have any advise?
