    Smoking Smaller Portions

    I understand that low and slow is the method agreed to by most. I also understand that basically, the overall cook time is largely controlled by the size/weight of the piece. That said, would cutting the whole piece (boston butt) into smaller chunks significantly decrease the cooking time?

    Opinions on Wrangler II and Pecos

    Looking to buy my first offset...Not looking for anything huge, just back yard family sized. Been reading up on the Old Country Wrangler II. I walked around it a couple weekends ago and it seems pretty well built. I've read decent things about the original Wrangler. Besides the upper shelf...
