This is the first time I have "scored" a pork butt to create new surface area. I can say it works well! Word of caution is to conscious of the amount of spice/salt you put on the meat. I subscribe to the wise words of Bobby Flay "season it more and cook it less" so I got after it using Salt Lick BBQ spice. The spice is great but is high in salt content. So when I pulled it and mixed it together it has more salt/spice than I'm used to. But I will be scoring going forward to create more surface area and bark!

I love bark. I scored one year or two ago but don’t think I did it deep enough to make any difference.
