Ok guys, my original plan have changed thanks to my wonderful butcher.
I originally ordered (4) 10lb butts, but showed up at the butcher this AM to 7 smaller butts. He proceeded to tell me that 9-10lb butts are not possible. So i argued with him for a bit, mentioning i have ordered 9-10lbs butts from him in the past without any issues. After calling my 2 other sources with no success of them having anything better, i negotiated $1 off per lb.
So, the question. I have (5) butts (bone in, fat on) that are around 5.5lbs, and I have (1) around 7lb and (1) around 4.5lb. My original plan was to start around 9pm tonight, and hopefully pull tomorrow PM and let rest foiled in the cooler until 4pm and pull for 5pm serving.
Since the total lb is the same, but now i have more butts on the grates and they are smaller....how should i adjust???
I'm gonna go rub them down and get them in the fridge and I'll check back shortly.
