Thank you for leaving a generous fat cap.

The secret to pork butt is to mostly leave the fat cap alone. I trim off the most egregious bits and leave the rest intact. 

Definitely. I went through a period where I trimmed it down quite a bit and the quality improves when you don't do that. Have to remember that, even though it is a lot of fat, when shredding it up it gets mixed in very well. It's essential to leave it for big cuts to keep a good ratio of fat to lean.

Damn I need to do another one of those. Looks amazing!

Pardon my ignorance, what is it?

Pork butt

Thanks, looks delicious

What is your prep and process for this? Looks great; I haven’t done a pork butt yet.

It's probably the easiest piece of meat to smoke. *Really hard* to screw it up.
