Howdy all!

Went to buy a 9 to 10 Lb. Boston Butt as I normally do and discovered the largest the local grocery had were 4.75 pounders. Bought two, but how is this going to effect the cook time? Will it shorten it a lot? Was going to do an overnight smoke. Now I'm not sure. Help!
 
Thanks Tim, but I'm not sure what the cook time usually is for this smaller butt(s). Normally I'd smoke a 9 to 10 lb. for 15 to 17 hours. I'm trying to figure out about what the total cook time will be so if I do an overnight, what time do I want to start!

I have done the 5 pounders and it takes me about 5 hours @ 300 no water in the pan.
 
Depends on youre target temp. 225 is on the slow end and can go 2+ hrs per lb. Crank up the temps like Tony and 1.5 to 1 hr.
Edit: you posted right before I did.
Double Edit: I would bank on 10 hrs @ those temps.
HTH and good luck!
Tim
