    what's easier/better 2 5lb or 1 10lb butt

    Doing baby backs at 2-2-1 Though about the beans under the butts.  Thought the beans might get too greasy.  I'll probably gather the butt juices and try to separate some.  Then add some to the butt and some to the beans.  At least that's the plan.... Would mixing apple and hickory turn out...

    erain, I guess, for me.  I ask,... then listen,...then try to make a determination if it's right for me.  Meateater was helpful and made me think.  Answers may or may not be perfect but as a newbie I search and read and try to put the bits and pieces together.  Hopefully the post questions I...

    Thanks a lot Meateater for your input, I really appreciate it.  Maybe I should stick to my original plan of reheating.  If I smoke it right and reheat it right then it should be right. Thanks and have a good night and smoke.

    Man that's scary.  I'm doing a b-day party the next day.  I 1st planned on reheating.  I got a lot of suggestions on reheating here at SMF.  I thought to investigate further on what it would take to have it fresh off the smoker.  Planning on also doing ribs the day of.  Plus all the other stuff...

    With your experience on butts.  do you find (for your rig) that the time is always close for butts of the same weight.  Meaning, if you have a 7 lb butt do you mostly plan on about 6 1/2 hrs.

    Taking that into account. And the possible variables trying to cook 2 butts.  smoking 1 butt could be easier for a newbe hosting a party the next day?

    what's easier/better 2 5lb or 1 10lb butt

    Can you give a very rough estimate on cook times 5lb butts and a 10lb.  I know that's tough, just a ballpark. Mark

    what's easier/better 2 5lb or 1 10lb butt

    Hi, I need some advise. Is it easier to cook 2 smaller butts or 1 larger? Would the cook time be considerably less using 2-5lb vs 1-10lb? From reading 2 butts of the same size may cook different.  So is 1 better?  Just monitor 1? Approx how long would a 5lb take vs a 10lb. Appreciate the...

    Q on most important ECB mod

    Thanks, Mdboatbum and Venture. When I posted this Q. I was "I though" pressed for time on the mods.  (I won't get into the details).  This Brinkman "Smoke and Grill" was a gift, sometime early 1990 i think.  Anyway, I found some material around the house (saved me time) to do the mods.  Did the...

    Reheat my butt in zip bags

    Thanks all of you for your ideas.  I'm feeling much more confident on pulling this off.  I really appreciate your thoughts.  Once I see how much cooked pork is there it will be easier to tell the best way.  The party's at the end of the month and I'll post on how it went. Thanks again all.  Mark
