Is it possible to over smoke a butt? Don't think so.

OLD NORTH STATE BBQ CO.

Been cooking butts since I got my first BGE three years ago. I lurked for a while and became very respectful of the danger of over-smoking food, especially with particular woods. I'm from North Carolina and we traditionally use hickory wood which can be a bit strong. On last weekends three butt cookI decided to abandon my bag of hickory chunks and threw on a decent sized split hickory log from my firewood pile. Great result. So here's my question: have any of you ever felt you over-smoked a butt?

It really depends on how much smoke flavor someone likes. Kinda like spicy foods. I like a lot of smoke.ScooterMid TN. Hangin' in the 'Boro. MIM Judge

Yes. But I used to throw food on as soon as it started to smoke, i.e., white thick smoke. Not good.The Dude: This is a very complicated case, Maude. You know, a lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what-have-you's. And, uh, lotta strands to keep in my head, man. Lotta strands in old Duder's head. Luckily I'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug regimen to keep my mind, you know, limber.Walter Sobchak: Nihilists! *uck me.

The pork stops taking on a smoke flavor once the bark is completely established somewhere between 140 and 160 degrees internal temp.
