How long did you let the smoke go? I normally go for 3-4 hours depending on how big the butt is. Also what kind of wood did you use? You can always try a milder wood like apple or alder.

hey guys thanks for all the info...i guess i smoked them alittle too long....8h and it took 12 h....each one was 4lbs

The longest i smoke butts is between 5 and 6 hours but the butts i use are around 10 pounds so i would cut back your time by half .
just add some bbq sauce and eat it up ;D

Stupid newbie question, at what point do you introduce the smoke, at first, in the middle or the end??

[FLBentRider]

At first. Raw meat takes smoke better.

The generally accepted premise is that meat stops absorbing smoke after the (meat) temp reaches 140F. This has been debated much.

At the beginning.
