Does anyone know how this differs from a regular pork butt? Family is coming over tomorrow and this is what they gave me to smoke. Not sure how to treat. If its the same as a pork butt I'm fine but if not could someone please help me. Thanks.
I have only ever done bone in butts! Plan on about 1.5 to 2 hours a pound bring to around 200 internal if you plan on pulling it.. I usually run at around 230 degrees but some guys go hotter and they turn out some good Q
Bone-in is better, imo. Did your mother ever put an aluminum nail through the middle of a baked potato to make the center cook more evenly? Mine did. Same principle here with the bone. When your butt is done, the bone should pull out cleanly and easily.
