We had a lot of freezing rain in Buffalo last night & as a result, my work is without water for the day. They sent us home, so I decided that I would try to smoke the 4 pork butts that I was going to smoke overnight on Friday. I have the butts in the smoker, but they are a bit larger than I thought. Is it a big problem if I have the butts touching each other? I realize that it will be surface that is not exposed to the smoke but they are not pressed right up against each other. They are just touching a little bit.
Also, I noticed that I have to crank the power up on the electric smoker quite a bit higher to maintain my temperature with the 4 butts as opposed to when I only did 1 butt.
