First kettle Boston butt

That looks great! I'm with you, as far as liking less smoke flavor. You may want to try a little higher temperature, that'll tone down the smoke.
 
I cook butts on kettle all the time. Using the snake method I maintain a temp between 280 and 300 without touching a thing for 7 hours. I only use 2-3 wood chunks because as everyone stated kettles seem to get a lot more smoke flavor.
 
Nice butt. Always another butt to smoke if you don't like the previous.
 
Looks really yummy! Have you tried Shack Attack sauce? That's my favorite sauce for pork butt.
 
Looks great.
I like smoking on my friends UDS.
If it is to much smoke flavor, you may want to wrap your but after it gets to about 165 or a nice bark.
This will bring your but up to temp to pull the bone without getting to much of a smoke flavor.
Works for me, good luck. :wink:
