Ok...FNG here and this is my first post. hello to all from the SC Lowcountry. It's freakin' hot here right now (heat index yesterday was 110-115 degrees) and what better activity to do in the blazin' heat than to smoke some butts on the weekend for a graduation/pool party!
I'll be smoking two bone-in 10-11 lb butts on my Traeger pellet smoker. My plan is almost always low and slow (225-250 degrees) and they're done when they're done (around 202 IT and probe tender). I usually don't wrap pork butts because I love the bark, as much as I can get which means I trim the fat cap off as much as possible.
I'm looking for comments as to cook time for cooking one butt vice two on the smoker. Seems like when I've done two in the past the cook time increases substantially. I'm guessing because I haven't rotated them and one is closer to where the heat is coming from? Should I rotate them? If so how often? Just curious as to what other people think on the subject.
