Zardel . Use a thermometer for proper finish temp. . "Judge" time @ 1.5lb./hr. raw weight at 225*F and try to keep the heat steady as you can . You'll have to babysit a bit ,but the outcome is great

Your little Butt may sail through cooking - or - it may take several hrs. .

The trick is . . .

also remember when smoke the butt, it will hit a point where you think it is not cooking, the temp will stay the same for a bit and then it will finish. Just dont panic during this time. I forget the specifics of why it does this, but I just know they seem to all do that.
