What temp do you smoke your pork butts ?

[es1025]

I set the auber to 170 for 30 minutes ans 240 the rest of the way. In theory it will take 30 minutes to get to 170.

Well it looks like the group is split between 225/235 degrees.

Overall the end result is all that matters.

Smoke on!

I think 225 is too low. Most recipes i have read call for 240 for the pork butt. I wrap after five hours typically between 150-160. The meat i have produced is really moist and juicy. I watched the bbq pitmasters and they went to 250 to 275 for pork butt.

I would agree with your statement and if what you are doing works, keep doing it.

But at least with my #2, this baby runs hotter than I thought. I keep notes on everything I smoke or cook, it makes it easier to keep turning out great results.

Take a look a the chart below and you will see what I mean when I say my #2 runs hotter than the knob setting.

Hey Dave,

That is everything I smoke or cook, I write down. This way when it turns out I can repeat the results. If it does not turn out... time for a change of plan.

I did wonder why my chicken skin wasn't rubbery
