Pork butt better to have 4 5lb butts or 2 10lb butts
Hi,
I am going to smoke around 20lb of pork butt on weber smokey mountain(22 inch). Other than presumably the cooking time will be faster if I choose 4 5lb butts over 2 10lb butts, are there any other considerations I need to take into account.
What would you do 4 5lb butts or 2 10lb butts and why?
Time might not be a lot faster with 4 as thickness plays major role. There will be more surface area with 4 and therefore more "bark". Most consider that a good thing. I vote for 4. Enjoy!
I'd go with 4 5 pounders for the additional bark. It's thickness more than weight that influences cooking time, so if the thickness changes, so will the cooking time.
Welshdragon, In General I agree with @HorseDoctorâ—ï¸ My Only Misgiving is I think with the Smaller Chunks You end up with Drier Pork, IMHOPâ“
