Reply to "Smoking Boston Butt"

Follow the guidelines for wood amount.  That's about the amount I use  except I like a 50-50 mix of apple and cherry.  If there isn't enough smoke flavor, then you can add more wood initially next time.  You don't need to have smoke from wood for 8 hours. I have learned it is better to follow a recipe the first time so I have an idea on what the dish is supposed to taste like and then I can make changes the next time to fit my tastes.

These smokers seem to hold onto the smoke so if you use too much wood you will probably get a bitter flavor.  Also do a search for meat not absorbing smoke after it gets to 140 deg temp.
