In Jeff's book under Pork Butt he states 1 1/2 hours per pound should give you approximate time to finish the meat adding that the temperature should reach 205 F. If I have a pork butt that weighs 8 pounds it should take around 11-12 hours.
Additionally, Jeff states you can place several pieces of meat into the smoker at the same time and the cooking times will not be affected....you just have to maintain the temperature.
Here is my question...if I divide the 8 pound pork butt into two pieces, 4 pounds each, and place them in the smoker wouldn't they be done in 6 hours cutting the total time to smoke the complete butt in half? Thanks for the comments.
