This is probably a dumb question, but I just got 4 butts in the 5.5 - 6.5lb range to smoke tomorrow for a little get together. Every other time I’ve done butts they were much larger (9-11lb) but the store didn’t have much of a selection this time.
On the bright side I don’t have to stay up all night to have them ready for lunch like I had planned since they won’t take as long to cook, but are there any disadvantages to using butts in the 6ish pound range? Is 5-6lb even considered “small” or is that normal?
