There are 2 parts of the pork shoulder – the Picnic Roast and Boston Butt (which comes from the upper part of the shoulder).

Boston Butt is a bit more expensive, but will usually have the bone removed for easier serving.

Secondly, boneless cuts can be cut into smaller portions for easier handling and faster cooking.
Thirdly, pork shoulder generally takes time to cook. This results in incredibly tender and juicy pork once finished.
Then, slow and low will let the fat and connective tissues to render down properly, in essence basting the whole shoulder as you cook it. You can’t rush it.
Lastly, the pork is done when it’s tender that it flakes apart when you poke it with a fork and falls off the bone.
