amount of wood for 2 butts?

qburghMember

I'm cooking two 9LB butts this weekend for a party. I usually only smoke around a 5 or 6 pound butt with 2oz of wood and it works out well for a smoke profile. Should I use more wood with the increase in weight of pork?

2 oz of wood produces the same amount of smoke no matter how much meat is in the smoker. So yes, 2 oz will work if that's what works for you on a single PB.
