First time poster, long time follower!
So I am having a BBQ tomorrow with about 40 people coming over and am making, among other things, 20 pounds of pulled pork. I have 4, 5 pound Boston Butts to throw in the smoker. Due to the thickness of each, I had to remove 2 of the 4 racks from the smoker. I can fit 2 butts on each rack, but they will be touching each other as it is pretty tight in there. My question is should I treat this as 2 ten pound hunks of meat and adjust the cooking time accordingly. I was planning on starting them around 3am at 225F and cooking until about 3 or 4pm tomorrow afternoon. Ill be using my Bradley Electric Smoker. Any advice would be appreciated as this is the first time Ill be smoking meat for the inlaws.
Thanks, and look forward to talking to you all in the future!
