Hello! I am using a Masterbuilt electric smoker and so far have only done last years Thanksgiving turkey in it...which tasted amazing, if I do say so myself :)
Recently, I bought a 16.45 pound boston butt (bone in) and am assuming that putting the meat in as one giant slab of meat is a bad idea. I have read several posts, but want to be sure before I begin so I'm prepared.
1. Should I cut it in half to make (2) 8 pounders?
2. Will it still take about 1.5 hours per pound with both of them in at the same time? (at 250)
Any suggestions would be very helpful!
