Minimum smoke time for a butt
I want to make a pork butt for the fourth of July but I just found out that I'm playing golf with some friends on that day. I do not what the tee time is yet.
I'll wake up early to get the UDS started and smoke the butt at 225º until I have to leave for the golf round then I'll put the butt in the oven until done. How long should I leave the butt on the smoker to achieve the best amount of smoke flavor and awesome bark? I'm thinking at least 4 hours in the UDS. What do the experts say? |

Smoke the butt overnight and have it ready to pull out before you go play golf. Foil and put the butt in a preheated cooler covered with towels until you get home... the whip it out and pull it.

I'm with JMSetzler and the cooler idea, but if that won't work I'm with ThomEmery. If that won't work, go with the next guys idea!

Also consider a high heat cook. I've not yet found a food that I cook at 225 that I don't think is superior at higher temps.

I like to smoker in the afternoon, then foil around 11 pm, put in the oven at 225 until 6 am, let rest & pull it in the morning. I'm doing 40 lbs on Friday afternoon. It's easier this way with my COS char-broil smoker.

just had great results doing 6 butts at 250-270 for 6 hours, then foiling in the oven at 275. done in 8 hours and I doubt you could tell the difference in any smoke amount. actually was one of my best final products in a very long time. go figure?

I'm going to go with JMSetzler's suggestion. I'm at that age where I don't sleep all the way through the night anyways so I can check on the cook several times. |

In an emergency situation.....I will cook over smoke for 1/2 the estimated total cooking time and then finish in the oven on time bake.

I'm an overnighter, but when it's not practical, I put it on early and cook at 275. I've had great results that way. I never use the oven except as a warmer.

Crank that temp up my brother. You're not going to hurt that butt's flavor.
