I accidently bought a pork shoulder instead of pork butt. I wanted to make pulled pork.
Will I still be able to use this for pulled pork?

yes,many people on here say they like the shoulder more than a butt.You can prepare the same way as a butt
thanks
you are welcome!
A pork shoulder is just the butt and a picnic joined together. Does it have skin on the picnic end. That end will have more of a ham texture and better a different texture than butt.
How big is it?

intowin,
Your pork shoulder will be fine for pulled pork. The main difference is you will have alot more of it. The size will require a different approach to the cook as well as more time. My main advice on a big cut is to bring up the oven temp gradually rather than all at once.
