Hello...
One of the reasons I wanted to buy my 14.5" WSM this year, was to bring along to the campsites with our family on occasion.
I volunteered to bring it this weekend, to feed (3) families Saturday for dinner. I'm planning on doing pork butt for pulled pork.
I'm realizing my time constraints of a 7-8hr smoke. I'm planning on doing (2) ~4-5# butts(vs. one big 8-9#), hoping the smaller butts cook quicker. Put em on at ~8am(ish), hoping for a 5-6pm(ish) eat time.
Question: Do boneless pork shoulder/butt or Bone-In typically cook faster? (I've never cooked a boneless)
I also plan to wrap em in foil, at about 160 degrees from what I read on here. (I've NEVER wrapped before)
Any thoughts/comments/advice would be appreciated. This is the trial run for the WSM at the campsite, so it'll be a learning experience for sure. I'm hoping everything goes smoothly, or I'll have a lot of hungry people standing around...
