How long will I need


 
Ive had 6# boneless butts take 16 hours. Every one of those things is different. There are lots of factors. Ambient temp, pit temp, wind,
amount of marbeling in the meat.

I would start checking temps at the 10-12 hour mark and then every hour after that. I usually pull between 190° and 195°. If they're bone in, then they're done when the bone feels like you can just slide it right out.

if that were me, I'd plan on about 18 hours at 225. Buy my cooks seem to cook longer than others. not sure why.

Point is, give yourself some flexibility - it's easy to hold 3 butts in a preheated cooler above 140 degrees for 4-5 hours without much trouble.

good luck.
