OK,I want to smoke a fresh pork shoulder or ham.It is raw like a hind quarter,im not real up on my pork parts but it came from the pork section in the meat counter,it not a cooked ham it has the skin all around it with a bone shank through it.How do i cook,or smoke it to come out with a smoked ham like for ham biscuits i dont mean real salty country ham,or can i even do what i want with out cureing the meat first.

It sounds like a picnic (which is the front leg), cook it like you would a butt.
Some remove the skin and rub, others inject and cook skin on. If you cook it to 175 to 180� internal it should slice nicely. If you take the internal temp to 195� or higher it should pull like a butt.
A good injection would be Italian dressing (strain out the solid bits) add your rub and mix well.
Hope this helps.
Jim
