Hey all,
I stopped by a few stores to pick up a pork butt to try to smoke (first time ever). The smallest I could find was a bone-in 8.5lb ($18.50 on special). Problem is....its way to big for me and my fiance, even when talking about left overs. Is it okay to cut it in half essentially and freeze the second half? Or will that have negative impacts on the meat? Would also take way to long to smoke on my brinkman electric gourmet smoker which barely reaches 215 degrees, ha.
