cook time for two butts

Here is a LINK that may help.

Till they're done..... Sorry couldn't resist!

You will get more posts on this but from my short time with my egg, if they are 2-3 different pieces then it doesn't add alot more time then if they were 1. I think that is assuming that there is an air gap between them. You will want to try and keep a gap if you want to produce bark all the way around each one of them.

I did 2 7# butts last week and didn't notice any difference at all, went 15 hours. I did speed it up the last 3. Probably could have gone 18 but I didn't have the time. I pumped up the heat to 375-400 after 12 hours. I was right in the 165 zone. Had to push it through. Dome temp had fallen to 210 for the last 5-6 hours while I slept. I usually try to hold about 230 degrees.

Still was delicious! My office staff wants me to do it every month!

This is a good rule of thumb, but even if they are jammed against one another they will separate as they shrink through the cook.

don't brine.. inject them
