Ok I'm rather new to smoking ... I've done probably around 10 pork butts or so... Today I went to a new meat market because my regular one only had frozen ones.... Any way the butcher offered me the entire shoulder which I didn't want simply because I done have time to for a 20 lb butt... I said cut it in half and I'll take it .... When I got home I noticed it had a huge bone ... I've always used bone in butts but it wasn't like those ... This bone appears to be flatter and it runs all the way across the entire meat ! I mean in both directions ... Length and with ! Not like your typical bone that I remove with two fingers when it hits 200 !! Could someone explain what this is .. Why ?? And if it's a good thing or bad thing or neither ? Thanks
