Where's the skin! That's the best bit?

Haven't seen a shoulder with skin on it.
We're about half way getting ready to stall.

Yeah I noticed that when I was over there.
Ya missing out!

Next time anyone does a rolled roast or a pork belly, treat yaself and go to the Butcher and ask if he can l leave the skin on.
Get a knife and score the skin a lil and rub salt and oil into it.

Cook it on 425F for 20mins to get the crackle started and seal the meat.

Then turn in down to 350F or lower for the remainder of the cook time depending how long u got.

We bought a 268lb pig last night at the Fair to support the 4H kids. $2.10 a pound now we have to talk to butcher to get it cut up and smoked.

Any recommendations of must haves from the butcher?

Look for a "picnic roast" if you want a pork shoulder with the skin attached. I see them at Stater Bros. and other local places in SoCal. I once picked one up by mistake and pulled the skin off before smoking.

I like to marinate the meat in tomato juice):thumbup:

I inject mine with apple juice.

Ya need to get them from the butchers too, because the supermarket ones are pumped full of brine.
Same with Steaks, that's why your pans always full of water.
I used to do maintenance at a pork/bacon factory and every meat product went through the injectors except the small goods.
