I had the butcher cut a smaller one in half. Not the best practice I suppose, but I really wanted to do one and I was only feeding my wife and daughter, next time I will definitely do a regular sized one.where do you get a 2.5 pound butt ? looks great though !
n00b here...
So I was talking to a guy... and he said the Boston Butt is an excellent meat for someone to smoke if you've got a little experience, but want to do something really good. He said it's very forgiving. Is that true? I'm thinking his fawning words about this cut really got me to thinking about it, and I see one in my near future. Or would y'all recommend something else?
