I grew up cooking shoulders and the occasional whole pig, so butts are kind of new to me in that I've been cooking them for less than 20 years.
Todd,
This might be a really dumb question but, what is the difference between a pork shoulder and a pork butt? I have an opportunity to get a good deal on pork shoulders but I've always cooked butts with excellent results and I'm not sure I want to take a chance with another cut.
Thanx,
