Does Size Matter?

[BBinMO]

Now that I've got everybody's attention  ....has anybody noticed if bigger pork butts tend to be tougher than smaller one? Say a 10 pounder vs. a 6 or 7 pound?

Thanks for your comments.

It doesn't matter in either case....  ....Large butts will turn out just great but you have to give the time for "magic" to happen. One caution is that if you go too small on the meat, it can sometimes take longer than you expect. Not sure why but it seems to be the case.

I've had good and bad 7 pounders so I imagine it is the same with larger ones.

Smoked 7-10lb (boneless) and 7lb bone in butt. I have never seen a difference other than the ability to have more to eat!

I love big butts by the way.... now that you have my attention

The bigger the better, in my book!  Yeah, baby!
