    Huge Pork Butts

    I stopped at Costco the other day and their pork butts are huge. I'm a little concerned about cooking one of these monsters. I'm wondering if it would be wise to cut one in half and make two separate cooks? Any ideas?

    I believe Costco's are 2 boneless butts in the same package.

      That's what I thought at first but after holding one up, I did not see where it separated. I know that Sam's are usually in 2 packs.

      If just one, then I would cut it in half or even in quarters for more bark and faster, more even smoking. Pull pork is great to freeze.

    According to the interweb it should be 2 per pack.

      The way they're butchered and packaged, they're hard to tell sometimes. I'm sure it'll be 2.

        I hope it is two. The huge pork butt is boneless.

      No matter, I got a Traeger to smoke them suckers. we will be eating pulled pork in for days.

        When I saw the title I thought it was some kind of new Hip Hop group.

          I’ve routinely cooked 10-11# butts on my Big Green Egg for 12-14 hours with no problem. I cook them to 200 internal temp, wrap and hold in an ice crest for 2 hours before pulling.
