Hi All,
Going to give another try on a smoked pork butt this weekend on my MES. Thanks to everyone for the recommendations to fix the lack of smoke issue... this time I'm wondering what pork butt to buy. My local grocery store has both bone-in and bone out pork butts to choose from, usually ranging from 3-5 lbs each. Would there be a reason to choose the bone-in cut instead of the bone-out? It doesn't make sense to me to pay a price per lb if part of that weight is not edible (bone), but if it affects taste, etc I'd be willing to buy it.
