Big versus small?
« on: October 14, 2017, 12:29:52 AM »
We’ve chronicled that small butts and small briskets can take as long as large ones. Does it make sense to use as much wood on the smaller pieces?

No it does not.  A really solid and dense piece of heart wood in the 3 or maybe 4 ounce weight from the species of your choice should do just fine.
