    Need advice on First "Multi-Butt" smoke

    Well I bought a couple more thermo's and a couple more probes today.  I will have a probe in each butt and I will have 3 thermometers in the smoker just to see how much variance there is temperature wise from top to bottom.  I am very interested to see what the spread is between them.  I will...

    Need advice on First "Multi-Butt" smoke

    Thanks for all of the great help folks!  I will let you know how everything turns out.  Plan is 3 butts and some slabs of spares, so it should be fun.  Here is another question for ya (maybe it should be in a different thread): I am curious what the temperature difference of my smoker is from...

    Need advice on First "Multi-Butt" smoke

    Awesome thanks! I was pretty positive that they would all have different finishing times, I just wasn't sure if adding more increased the per lb cooking time. Sounds like I will just plan for 2hrs per pound and plan it to be done 2-3 hours before I need to pull and serve. Thanks again!

    Need advice on First "Multi-Butt" smoke

    Hello all, I have always just done one Butt at a time in the past and have always figured 1 1/2 - 2 hrs per pound.  I am going to be smoking 3 butts in the 7-8lb each range this weekend.  What have you guys experienced as far as increased cooking time?  Thanks in advance for your advice on...

    Help! couple of questions on BONELESS Butts Qview added

    Sorry, I didn't give the final prognosis last weekend.  I ran into a time crunch and then had a busy week.  Thanks for all the help Eric!  Although it was a very stressful, LONG night, I will say it actually ended up being the best pork butt that I have ever done or had.  The bark was amazing...

    How long can you "Hold" a Pork Butt

    Well I decided to plug my probe into it to start monitoring the temp(I should have put it in right away but forgot).  After a touch over 4 hrs it is at 169*  only an hour and a half left.  I think we will make it. :)  Thanks to all for the help.  I will post some pics after I get back from the...

    How long can you "Hold" a Pork Butt

    lol probably would.  This is pretty much the only really challenging smoke that I have had, for some reason all of them up to this point have gone pretty smooth overall (barring some small hiccups here and there).  So I guess it had to happen sometime, and I am sure it will happen again.  I can...

    How long can you "Hold" a Pork Butt

    Cool, Thanks for the replies guys.  I guess this is where you really start to learn........... when things don't go right, and believe me if this one turns out I will be happy because very few things seemed to go right on this one.  I will say though, that when I pulled it from smoker to put in...

    How long can you "Hold" a Pork Butt

    Well I pulled it a bit later than I normally do, I let it get a bit over 200 thinking that it might hold longer that way.  It is wrapped with at least 4 layers of heavy duty foil (I lost count but know there's at least 4), I took a cooler and layed a towel in the bottom, then double wrapped the...

    How long can you "Hold" a Pork Butt

    This is the first time I was trying to time a butt to be done for a specific event, and due to some circumstances I had to smoke it differently than I normally would have (circumstances are described here...

    Help! couple of questions on BONELESS Butts Qview added

    I highly doubt I will do a boneless ever again in a smoker.  I don't like having to play the 40-140 in 4 game.  I would rather be able to keep it low and slow and let it finish out how it wants.  Too stressful.  It has me nervous as it is with as close as it was.

    Help! couple of questions on BONELESS Butts Qview added

    No it was in a walk in cooler at the store, and the only handling prep time was tying it up.  Maybe 15 minutes or so.

    So here we go, Butt just went into smoke.  Have temp between 260-270 :( But as SOON as it hits 140* that baby is getting turned down to where it should be :)  Here she is after sitting in the fridge rubbed out for about 12hrs and ready to smoke
