I have a 3.75 lb. Boston Butt ready to go....I'm in no particular hurry and time is not the issue,problem is I'm not sure @ what degree and for how long should I cook it for the best results[p]signed,

CDRush,
I'd cook it at 210° to 225° at the grid or about 250° in the dome. If you put it on now, it will probably hit 200° (the temp for pulling) sometime between 8 and 15 hours 'cause it seems kind of small.[p]HTH

CDRush,
That sounds like a pretty small butt. I think I did the last one at about 225 to 250. Time was probably about 1 to 1 1/2 hours per pound, internal maybe 185 or so. Cooked indirect over a platesetter and drip pan. Don't have any notes here so I'm going by memory, which at my age isn't firing on a full charge.

Bobby-Q,
You referred to "pull"? It's not sliced to serve? And Thank You for the advice.

CDRush, I'd go indirect at 235-250 dome temp till butt hits 195-200 degrees, I'd guesstimate 12 hrs give or take a few.
Peace...

CDRush,
Well you can cook to 185° to 190° to slice it. A lot of folks just pull it or shred it.
