Go with what the pros recommend, debone that butt and use CW's Canadian bacon brine. I like to add a ounce of Mapeleine to that brine from time to time just to change things up. If you aren't accustomed to deboning a porkbutt it can get a little tricky until you've done it a few times, it's always nice to get the bone out without the finished product looking like someone took a machete to it.
This guy give a good video as to how to go about getting out that bone. Good luck! RAY

I always buy the entire shoulder, usually 18-20 pounds total.
They seem to always be cut in half with one bone pictured previously and the other like this
There are a few different twists and turns but it still all boils down to following the blade. Of course it never pays to be in a big hurry when deboning, unless you're a butcher by trade. Some of the competition BBQ guys I've seen are pretty darned impressive also.RAY

I've never tried the hot water bath method on a loin or butt. I keep them in the smoker until IT is reached and then dump them in ice water for 15 minutes. Fact is the only time I tried the hot water bath on some sausage everything disintegrated into a gloppy mess and got tossed so I just stick to the smoker now. Good luck and keep us posted on your results. RAY
