Weekend Butt

[NePaSmoKer]

Got a 10lb butt going right now. Mixed 5 T Jans rub with 1/2 cup EVOO made a past and rubbed the butt real good with it. Going to boat it so its stays moist @ 225* with pecan/ hickory for 4 hours then just 225* no smoke until done.
Got the skin side up  ;D

That smoked butt came out beautiful!
I have a question:
Is a pork butt like a pork shoulder?  Is one from the front leg and the other from the back end?
I always see pork shoulder roasts at the store and then I see butt and shank hams.
I have a full understanding of beef cuts but pork is a big mystery to me for some reason.
Thanks for the enlightenment!

Do you prefer the wet paste oover a dry rub or cym with rub?

There are 2 cuts from the front shoulder area.

The Pork butt / boston butt / pork shoulder (the "butt" end"
and
The Picnic shoulder (the "shank" end)

If you had a whole shoulder it would be both.

The boston butt has a shoulder blade bone in it, and the picnic has the foreleg(sp) bone. I guess translated it would be the upper arm ?

I like a wet paste, my wife likes BBBR. Sometimes i do cym and BBBR or just baste CarolinaTreet on it while smoking  ;D

Pork shoulder roast is boneless butt. When you see a cut call butt ham, that is from the leg (ham section or hindquarters). It's the top half of the leg. It has more meat, but also more fat and connective tissue then the shank end.

Thanks for the clarification!
Now I get it,
