This is my first Boston butt in the #1. Temps in the 50’s. Trimmed = 8 lbs. Brined (Divotmaker's), rinsed, mustard, rub. Put it on at 5:45 am because I had no idea how long it would take. I've read everything from 1-2 hrs. per pound. 6 oz of wood chips, ½ hickory, ½ cherry. 225 deg.. The goal is 190-195. It took 11 hrs to hit 190. There was not really a stall. Guests arrive in an hour! Close call! I will take if off, double wrap in aluminum foil and let it rest for an hour. A couple of pieces fell off as I took it out of the smoker. The dog and I almost got into a fight! It tastes great before resting. This was so easy! Thanks for the great advice!
1st butt in the #1 - Excellent!
