Man, I never come this far down the webpage, and look here..... my people!!!!  I've been smoking meat for 30+ years, used to compete, and absolutely love all that comes with tending a smoker. I use a Pitmaker Long Rifle Sniper, made in Houston. Pellet poopers won't give you the taste you will get out of a stick burner (nothing will really), but you'll get more sleep. A Pork Shoulder is actually two pieces, the Boston Butt and the Picnic Ham. I stick with the Boston Butts myself and don't really mess with the picnic.
