OK. So here is my question. I have about a 10# pork butt, its cold outside and I'm needing it for dinner tomorrow night. Can I take my 10# butt and cut it in half, smoke both halves and still have them come out the same? I could do it in 1 but by the 2 hr per pound rule would have me up all night to get it going and making sure its to temp, still producing smoke ect. I have a 30" MES. I've smoked a few butts in the past but never cooked them long enough, pulled at like 170 so I already know that i need to go for about 195 and rest for an hour to be able to pull. I just wanted to know if splitting the 1 large one into two would cause any issues? Thanks for your input and all your posts, lots of help.
