Pork Butt

It has been a longtime since I used my 4 rack SS. I got in 07', but just recently picked up a auber dual temp cont.
Been reading all following, all the fantastic stuff everyone makes here, and thought "I need to get on it!"

So I did this last night, 12lb butt, rubbed with one of the rubs of the recipe site.

Rub applied

Used 4hrs of mesquite @ 200 to an internal temp of 190. Took total of 12.5 hours

Ready for FTC !

The PID, for me was well worth the cost.

I am smoking two 17lbs Boston Butts in my Bradley Smoker. Please advise if I should half each butt and cook them on a six racks. I have cooked smaller butts before but have never this amount at the same time. How long should I cook? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I'll leave this one for the experts, I can see two schools of thought colliding and I wouldn't know which one would be correct. One thought would be that cut in half would make smaller pieces that could cook faster, but my other thought is that you still have the same amount of meat so it might not matter. So I will wait along with you to see what the master's advise.

No other advice at this time. I appreciate you response.

I too am no expert but I must say that was one big hog those butts came from. The two packs I buy are barely that big. As to cook time. It's done when it's done. Which in this case may end up being measured in days instead of hours. The pros should be along shortly, they sleep late. ;) ;)
