Where it comes fromPicnic shoulder

Tap another part of the pig to jump to it

On the grill

The lower half of the shoulder, with more skin and connective tissue than the upper collar. It wants the same long indirect cook as a full shoulder.

If the skin is left on, dry it well before cooking and finish it over direct heat at the end for crackling rather than soft skin.

Seasoning

In the grill

110 °Cindirect

This takes hours. The fire is barely alive and the meat is never over it.

Smoke it with apple, cherry or hickory.
