Did I buy the wrong thing?

[EzGlider]

Ok, headed to Costco and bought what I thought was the right thing but now am wondering... I thought I bought a Butt that I would smoke but this one is boneless (which I suppose is not big deal) but it is also much heavier than the ones normally talked about in other butt smokes. Did I get the wrong one, or will it work. This one was actually one of the smaller ones to choose from... Still plan 1 hr, 45min/lb?

Thanks in advance,

Jeff

That’s what I buy at Costco. There also may be two pieces packaged in there. I prefer bone in but, I usually just get exactly what you have there.

Freeze one and smoke the other. Or smoke one for sliced, one for pulled.

But you are good to go!

Thanks, I did not even thing about 2 in the pkg, I guess that would explain the weight...

Jeff, yeah you are fine. You have a boneless Boston Butt and probably two of them packaged together. Not a big deal but word of caution, sometimes the boneless variety can take longer to cook than bone in. Plan for 2 hours per lb and you should be fine. If it finishes earlier double wrap it in foil and keep it in a cooler with a towel packed around it or drop your smoker temp to 140 double wrap in foil and hold in the smoker until you are ready to pull it.
