small butt?

[L Weiner]

Usually I cook about 6-8 lb butts, today I am doing a 2 3lb'ers. Anything I should know different (other than time)? Will it dry out because it is smaller?

Thanks!

I've never had a butt dry out regardless of size due to all the fat in it. I'd do it my normal way without a second thought. Though I rarely wrap, if you are concerned, wrapping it in foil when it hits the stall should trap steam and keep it moist.

Sorry, but my initial reaction to the thread's title was to respond: "No.....you?"

Cook the butt the same way you always cook it. It will just get done faster. Shorter stall time.

I cut up a 5 lb butt into 4 pieces last week and they came out great. I did wrap them in foil for at least an hour AFTER they were done and put them in a cooler to rest. Not dry at all so you should be good. One thing I learned, more pieces = more bark, yum
