I've heard that adding a second piece of meat to the WSM won't substantially add to the total cook time. If this is the case, then can I take a large 9-10 lb. pork butt, which would take 15-20 hours to cook, split it in half and cook the two 4.5-5 lb. halves in faster time?
I did a single 4.5-5 lb. butt in 8.5 hours this past weekend with excellent results. Just wondering if splitting one large one in half would let me avoid an overnight cook. The plan is to keep one for myself and give the other away to another family here in the neighborhood. Any disadvantages to splitting? Your thoughts? Thanks!
