Whats the fat content of your beef?

 

[fla smoker]

 Havent purchased the beef yet was thinking about maybe 15-20 % fat.

I like to use 2/3's pork butt and 1/3 chuck. If 80/20 burger is on sale I'll use that.

Yup what Dan said.

If i was going to use 80/20 GB i would go with 7.5 lbs and 2.5 pork.............But thats how i do it
