This will be my 4th go with the new smoker. Previous chicken and ribs came out well. Today is a 4# butt. From what I've read over these forums I'm looking at 6-7 hours? Also, seems kinda small compared to other butts I've been reading about here; is it likely that Jewel cut them in half; will that matter?
 
Also remember on pork butts, time is of no essence. Temp is what matters most.

Good therm will help alot. Foil around 165, then let go till 200-210. Some will take longer

then others. 

Happy Smokin'

Looks like a good start. If you have the time, about 2 hours per lb, IMHO the bark is better without wrapping it. It takes longer but for me the time is an investment. A 4 pounder is about half a butt but will still be great.

Been at 196 since 5:45. Is that too high for a stall? Smoker temp has been between 225-250 all day. Now taking to just over 250. Glad it's just me & wife tonight...

Pork Butt. Room temp or from Fridge to Smoker? And is it more about internal temp than time?
