    cooking time will be 1.5 hr x your largest butt. So If your biggest butt is 8lb then 12 hrs. However: I've done a quarterd hog before with hams and shoulders weighing 20 lb It took no where near 30 hrs in fact less than 20 hrs. So i think after a certin weight that 1.5 hr per lb logic goes...

    My first piece of butt!

    I dont use mustard or anything. I do however apply the rub sveral hours or night before cooking. When you do this the rub will draw a little moisture to the top turning it almost paste like. Then put on a little extra rub right before it hits the smoker.

    2-1-1 or whatever it is

    Use chunk instead of chips they will last ALOT longer. Dosnt hurt to soak the chunks in water for an hour before throwing them on the coals. As far as the charcoal basket they are great. But you could probably drill a bunch of holes in your bowl and use the grate as well...that should help...

    Snack Stick Question

    Well I've made a few batches of sticks with 17 mm casings with success. My normal supplier is out of 17 mm but sells 19mm. They also sell the snack stick kits that use 21 mm that seems kind of big to me. Has anyone used the 19mm or 21 mm casings??
