We are currently smoking 7 pound pork butt and we are wondering how long we actually apply smoke for.
Thanks for your help
4 hrs is normal, but I am not normal so I like 6. ;D
Welcome to the forum!
Welcome to the forum, 4 hours is typical.
Don't be a conformist. I do at least 5 and usually 6 on a butt that size.
W E L C O M E to the Forum bbckr!
I usually apply four hours of smoke, since we couldn't taste that much of a difference with 6 or 8.
I'm even less normal - 8 hours - sometimes more. I like SMOKE!!!
Ditto 6-8 hours of smoke (hickory, pecan and oak) for the butt. The more smoke the better
Welcome bbckr,
Let us know how it turns out!
