I'll be cooking my first boneless butt tonight. The woman and I both felt like some pulled pork. The only thing they had in the case at Sam's were some big ol' boneless ones. We grabbed a 15 lb one and brought it home.
I've done some searching here since I've never done a boneless one before. I know I have to tie it up and everything, but my main question revolves around cook time.
How long should I expect it to take to cook a 15lb boneless butt? Am I better off splitting it into two smaller pieces to shorten the cooking time? I'm looking for 18 hours or so of cook time. The last but I did was about 10 lbs and took 16 hours. I plan on cooking it at 250-275 degrees. I was wondering what effect the lack of a bone would have on cooking time.
Any thoughts or experience out there?
