It was packer, the whole piece was about 7kg, I took the point end (which had a good amount of flat too) weighed in at 4kg.

I paid £30 for it, the butchers is inside Dobbies in Atherstone - it's called Trotters. Quite apt as when I asked for a pork shoulder it came with the trotter attached, they trimmed it off for me to leave me with again a 4kg piece - that was £19.

I used briquettes and initially 4 chuncks of Weber apple wood, followed by another 4 chunks after a couple of hours.
