No normally do the same as the brisket. Perforate and soak in a juice bath overnight.  Never had any problems with pork, bone cokes right out and always falls apart.

Hmmm.  I’ve never soaked brisket or pork.  Worth the try?   What do you soak it in ???  Sugary stuff like cherry coke or Dr Pepper?

Typically cranberry/black cherry juice.  Yes I’ve done it every time I’ve smoked a brisket or pork butt.

I’ll have to read up on that and try.  Can you over soak/brine?
