Default My First Butt's

went to a local pork outlet today picked up 4 butts they are small and range from 4 to 5 lbs ...so tommorow will be the day to experiment on these, i am going to make up some rub from some of the suggestions from you guys on the forum..i am thinking 8 hours to cook @ 225 to 250 to get to around 190 does this sound about right??? then pull and foil and let rest in cooler for a couple of hours,,...the first thing i cooked when i got my WSM was spatchcock chicken....came out awesome...and have done a meatloaf which was a hit with the family.... love this website great reading and ideas from all you experts.............wish me luck

4-5lbs is pretty small. I assume they are boneless. At those cooking temps I would be surprised if it went as long as you think. Personally I would take them well over 200* if you are measuring by temp. Remember to monitor the doneness by feel too as that will be your true test. For butts though, I think you can use temp and get good results. Just take it past 200* minimum.

Don't focus too much on a specific temp. They will be done when your thermo probe goes in with little to no resistance. That can happen at different internal temps for each butt.

I've tried butts from Farmland & they were ordinary sized (7-9 lbs.) but I wasn't very happy with the final product. IBP, Excel, and Hormel are far superior products IMO. Cheers!!!

Nahunta pork center is where these butts came from they are based out of Pikeville NC, they have a outlet at the Farmers Market in Raleigh....they came out great for my first time, smoked them with Hickory and Apple chunks at 275 for about 6 hours untill the internal temp was 195.... foiled them for 2 hours...meat fell off the bone... pulled meat apart used some Georges Hot. also bought a 3lb chuck roast and cooked that on the bottom rack...used two forks to shred.....put some Sweet Baby Rays on it ....I am hooked already...... thinking about what to try this weekend
