All, I am really puzzled by something. In the Cooking Topics portion of the main site there is the write-up on the mustard rubbed pulled pork (http://virtualweberbullet.com/pork1.html). The author said that his smoke session took 19 hours with 2 8 pound butts (~16 pounds total).
I have an 18" WSM and smoke 2 butts the same way all the time and I am done it 10 hours almost every time! My smoker stays at 225* the entire time and I get the meat to ~195-200* and it is perfect. It doesn't really matter what season (Portland, OR area).
Why would my time be so much shorter? I have noticed this to be the case on many things that I smoke. The cook time is hours shorter than what others experience.
