The $12 pork butt from Walmart turned out better than the $45 heritage one

I laughed at my buddy when he grabbed that cheap shoulder for our Sunday smoke, figured it'd be dry trash. Marinated it overnight in apple juice and mustard, 11 hours on the offset at 225, and it pulled apart like butter while the expensive one stayed tough. Has anyone else had the cheap cut just show up the fancy stuff?

Marinating is the secret sauce, man. Cheap cuts just need a little loving first.
