3 butts but different sizes

[James H]

So I had to take what I could get at the local supermarket which was three butt. A 6lb a 5lb and a 4.5lb. Question is should I start at the same time and then pull and hold as they hit the magic point or stagger when I put them on so I can pull off around the same time? Appreciate your thoughts and happy Labor Day!!!

Hi James,
I haven't done multiple butts yet but if it were me I'd put them all on at the same time. When each one finished I would foil and hold it in a cooler. The two smaller ones might finish fairly close together but since each butt can be a little different there is no telling for sure.

Ditto what Todd said....

Don't forget your favorite adult beverage while smoking the butts and take pics.

Put them all on at the same time. Butts are forgiving so the smaller one may be able to stay on till the big one is done.

sometimes the smaller ones take longer to hit the magic point.

Yep. We made the mistake if putting a 5 & 6 lb on Friday around six, then 2 4's at 11. The bigger ones were done 4 hours earlier than the ones we put in later.

Just load the sucker up and let her rip.
