I am planning to cook 2 boston butts in am each around 6 pounds with bone in. How long do you think I should allow for cooking>? It will be my second time ever using this cooker and first for Boston Butt.
Any help would be great.

Scroll to the top of the page. Look next to Home. Click on Smokin' Okie's barbeque Guide. You'll find instructions on how to smoke all the major food groups except Butterfingers.
One and a half to two hours per pound. So in your case, 9 to 12 hours. But as the master once said "they will take as long as they take."
BTW, this is at a temp of around 225 on average.

Thanks a lot for you info guys. Just to let you know, I asked a littel too late and started the cookshack up last night at 11:45PM and took em off at 11:45PM. First time the door opened! Cooked cold from frig and had temp set at 235. They were the best Boston Butts I have ever made. Maybe the best I have tasted anywhere. My wife asked me two or three times to swing open the door and check on em but I kept my faith to a tastful finish.

The one best thing you can do to help yourself is keep good notes and get a remote probe thermometer.. I am glad your first smoke was a good one
