Default Quick Q

I'm smoking 4 butts today in my UDS. Two per rack at 225*, each butt is about 8-10 lbs. how long do you think it will take? It's my first time doing 4 and am trying to time it right. I have to be on the road no later than 7AM Sunday so I'm thinking 12-14 hours so getting them on the pit by 4PM today. Also placing the two larger butts on the lower rack hopefully that will help with have'n them all ready at same time.

Thanks for the help in advance

12 to 14 hours should be plenty of time. Are you going to foil?

Kick the temp up to 250. Won't hurt a thing. Should take about 9-10 hours.

My concern really isn't if I have enough time. I can start the smoker at anytime today, it's more of a timing question. I do enjoy my sleep lol. I just wanted to confirm that 12-14 hours at 225 is enough.

A 9-10 hour cook actually has me start much later. I rather toss them on at 4pm opposed to 8pm. I guess my question is does anyone know if it will take more than 12-14 hours for 4 butts (8-10lbs each) at 225.

How long has it taken you in the past? 1 butt or 4, if the temp is the same I would think the time should be very similar. I have never used both racks for butts but I thought I read that it is hotter on the top level so the bigger ones might do better up there. Anyone please correct me if I am wrong.

I have read the same regarding grate temps and that is why I'm placing the larger meats there. Perhaps you are right regarding same time. I just figured someone here has done 4 at the same time on a drum and would be able to tell me if it takes longer.

If it seems to be cooking slower you can always bump up the temp and get caught back up on your timeline. I wouldn't worry. Butts are very forgiving and can take much higher temps.
