Hi all,
New to the forum. I will be cooking some pork butts for a party this weekend. Is there any reason to go for 1 larger butt rather than 2 smaller ones? The smaller will cook faster so seems it makes sense to go that way - less pellets to burn (I have a GMG Daniel Boone) and less sleep to lose :) Am I missing any advantage to going big? Only thing that comes to mind is possibly less shrinkage?
This will be my first long cook on this pit, have only done ribs and chicken so far. If there's anyone else who has cooked butts on a Daniel Boone, how long before you needed to add pellets? This gets back to the sleep thing :)
Thanks!
