Hey everyone!
I am new to the forum and have been very impressed with the responses and help everyone gives! Today I am smoking my first boston butt! I injected last night, but the rub on 30 minutes ago and plan to begin the smoke after my nieces bday party...should begin the smoke around 3:30pm. I am unable to get the grill fired up and the butt on before this time. The butt is 3.2 lbs and based on the research ive done, it should take around 1.5 hours per pound at 250. I have a medium big green egg and will be using my new BBQ guru CyberQ2 for the temperature control. My worry is that it wont be done in time for me to get to bed for work tomorrow. I anticipate it taking around 5hrs then foiling it for an additional hour but not sure. Any suggestions?
Thanks guys!
Tom
