    Fourth pork butt Smoke.... Need advice

    Thanks for all the responses! Another question, using my maverick and tried to buy a second meat probe and plug it into the smoker input but wouldn't work. So I then used the smoker probe and inserted into the meat, does this work?

    Fourth pork butt Smoke.... Need advice

    Guys, I'm getting better by the week. Sunday is my big debut for a large group for the NFL games Sunday. I have two 8 pound butts, my gameplan is to put them on for about 24 hours, then pull them at 205, pull them apart, give them a quick spritz of vinegar then wrap in foil and put them back I'm...

    Smoking butt and chuckie at the same time advice

    You guys have thoughts on shutting down the heat at 205 but leaving in the smoker vs. Double wrapping and putting the cooler?

    Smoking butt and chuckie at the same time advice

    Thanks Eric, I'm at the 4 hour mark and the pork stalled at 160 while the beef is slowly rising but at 154, I plan to wait until the beef gets to 165 and then wrap and take both to 205 before wrapping again throwing the cooler for a few hours. Think makes sense?

    Smoking butt and chuckie at the same time advice

    So rookie smoker here, trying my third smoke and you guys helped a TON last week. Attempting a 3 lb pork butt and a 3 lb beef chuck at the same time.

    Thanks JckDnls, that was my suspicion however I've quickly learned that assumptions are often wrong.

    Timber, That's the problem I ran to both smokes, time management. Hungry crowd expecting it at a certain time and I didn't allow enough cushion. Let me ask you another question, if I smoke say 3 3 pound butts, should I use 2 per pound per hour rule based on 3 pounds or 9?

    Vmastros, good advice. I'm learning that there are no rules, it's trial and error, and you have to practice. Someone on here said earlier 'it's done when it's done'. I think that's the best way to approach it!

    Timber, it turned out pretty good but not quite perfect, I pulled at 195 and wrapped an hour and it was almost there. Next time I'm going to try 205 and two hours in the cooler. I appreciate all the help!

    Alright so 195 now, pull or wait to 200 or 205?

    Smoking time and temp help

    Timber, it suddenly accelerated from 170 to 192 after stalling at 170 for an hour. So would you pull off at 195 or 200? Then how long would you lock it in the cooler?

    It's 3.5 timber and and what you've said is perfect... It seems to me ( at a novice level) that 1/2 per pound isn't right, 2 per seems like it should be the right time, not 1 & 1/2.
