First shot a Pork Butt | Cookshack

Former Member

Ok I've searched the forum and I'm pretty confident on smoking Pork Butt. !.5 - 2 hrs. per pound, using a little apple and hickory wood, dry rub with cookshack rib & chicken rub, set sm025 to 225, and probe internal meat temp around 190 - 195 before checking to see if done.
What I don't know is should I cook these two 8lb. butts on the same shelf or one on top one on bottom staggered. Oh yeah and SmokinOkie's basting sauce.

Either way will be fine. Welcome to the forum.

smokinontheprairieIf your lookin' it ain't Cookin' !

Any Time you use two different shelfs the lower one will be a little hotter so you can rotate them to have them get done at the same time, Good luck and happy smoking !

Thanks for the info. I think I'll get them both on one shelf. Let y'all know how it turns out.

I agree with the other fine cooks. I would guess it will be close to the 2hrs/lb and most of us would want to let them rest for a hour or two.
