I have 6 Lbs of pre sliced pork butt to smoke and was wandering if anybody has tried one before. The slices are about an inch thick and I wasn't sure how long to cook. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ottie

They would be pretty fatty and need some low temp,for a long time.
I'd guess at least 6-8 hrs.
Guess you'd want to get them up over 180º internal.
It is traditional in the St Louis area to grill them,until you think they might be done,place them in a 1/2 foilpan ,cover with a bottle of sauce,foil,and simmer at 200º for about an hr.
Another option is to roll and tie them tightly to resemble a butt.
Cook it as you would normal.
This way you get a little more seasoning exposure and bark.
Let us know how it went.

Do a search for "country style ribs" that's what you have. Butchers will take a PB, debone and then slice it to make "ribs".
I don't like 'em (too many childhoon memories)

I smoked the sliced butt yesterday and it turned out pretty good. They resembled thick pork steaks. 235 degrees for 5 hrs, pulled off at 184 internal. I cut the pieces into chunks, mixed them with sauce, wrapped in foil and back in the smoker for 30 min. Definitely not a favorite of mine, but my buddies devoured them so I guess they were edible!
