I've done several Butts on the PBC - but not a Picnic Ham ... Local store has Picnic Hams for a very low price and I would like to try - any tips ?

You basically have a shoulder with a shank. Cook it just like you would a pork butt.
I trim picnics a bit more than I do butts.

Like smoke says,cook it like a butt. I guess the butt and picnic make up the shoulder.

Yep, like the others said, cook it exactly as you would a butt and you'll be good.
I just did four whole shoulders for the marching band cookout (http://www.letstalkbbq.com/index.php?topic=18114.0). When I picked them up from the butcher, I had him cut them in half giving me four butts and four picnics.
I often buy whole shoulders because it's more economical.
