A lot of times i'll trim the back completely around the money muscle, then separate it to slice, and shred the rest.
I wonder if you split it up the middle, and left it connected @ the money muscle if that'd work. You'd keep the muscle in tact, and still get double bark?
Cool... I think it's a great idea. I like both pulled and chunks too, and I get the best chunks from the MM, which is why I asked. I'm gonna try this on my next butt for sure!
Yes Healthy size chunks of pork on a mini stick with either a Q sauce or finishing sauce seem to go over pretty well..... I'm usually serving about 3-5+- pounds total of pork that way at BBQ's of family things.
Personally, I love the vinegar & brown sugar based finishing sauces on pork instead of BBQ sauce. Water, Apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Jim Beam, Tiger Sauce, honey, Worcestershire, crushed Red peppers & EVOO or similar

I do something pretty similar on pulled pork. Really something like this:
1 Cup Cider Vinegar
2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
1 Teaspoon Tony Chachere's Cajun Seasoning
1 Teaspoon Course Black Pepper
1 Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
