Multiple Butt Cook - How Long

FlaParrotHead

Folks.[p]I am still trying to fingure out when to start my cook this afternoon. I have two 6+ pound (boneless) Boston Butts that I am cooking for pulled pork (what else is there). The last 6+ pound cook I did, can not remember if it was bone in or out though, was about 17 hours at 250 and came out perfect. Cooking will be indirect with a platesetter and a drip pan.[p]With two boneless pieces - - any guesses on what I should expect. I would like to have the meat off the egg about noon tomorrow (Sunday) . .[p]Thanks, -Bill

FlaParrotHead,[p]Don't expect too much, if any, extra time for multi-butts. The only difference is if they touch - that area will then see less heat and cook slower. Once they shrink a little there should be a space between them for heat circulation. Enjoy[p]Tim

FlaParrotHead,[p]As long as the two butts will not be touching at the start of the cook I wouldn't change a thing from your previous cook. Plan on the same amount of time, but remove the butts from the BGE based on internal temp.[p]Puj[p][p]Puj

FlaParrotHead,
How much charcoal do you use when you start cooking this much meat. Do you have to add during the cooking process?
