Thanks all ...... also have not had a 14lb shoulder....sorry ....was using that as an example ....a bad example....Ok ..... If one is smoking a 14 LB shoulder - is the time needed for said shoulder the same if one is smoking two 7 lb shoulders?
Thanks in advance.
This is correct. If you took a 14 pound shoulder and cut it up in little pieces it would take substantially less time. Even though the weight has not changed, surface area to weight has gone much higher.The one 14 pounder will take longer because of the solid mass. Two 7 pound shoulders equal 14 pounds but their mass is half individually. In other words. 14 pounds of country style ribs will cook faster than one 14 pound shoulder because of individual mass of the piece. That’s just my O2.
Your information is needed in this thread Mike. If OP wants to add to it that’s fine, but you are giving real world results,,,,, and pictures! We like that a lot. Thanks Mike.Well I stunk up his thread to show how 2 pieces of meat can look the same but took longer that you would think, not the first or last time doing that. I measured temp of grate between them and the temp of each, by the time 1 reached 200 the other was 178 , let it go another 2 hours before it was close enough lol
