I just picked up two Boston Butts ($1.29/lbs @ Bi-lo) just to have on hand in case I want to do one any time soon.

I was wanting to try something new and wanted to pick the brain trust for a unique idea.  Please help me out.
 
Pulled "ham".  Cure it like you would a ham (pop's method is always delicious), then smoke it like pulled pork.  Love that stuff.  Might have to do one now myself.
 
For a really simple change, take it off at 185* and slice it about 1/2-3/4" and make an au jus. It's a wonderful meal. Somewhat like a pork prime rib.
 
I can't do Indian food.....I was in Bangalore for about 3 months back in 2013.....I got extremely sick and ever since then even the smell of Indian makes me queezy.
 
I usually brine mine for 15 hrs +/- in a large zip lock with 2 quarts water, 1 cup pickling salt, 8 oz dark molasses.  Remove, pat dry, rub then smoke.

The brine IMO eliminates the need for injecting.
