Question for you guys:
My neighbor has a grilldome and does pork butts regularly...we were recently comparing notes....I commented how my last butt took 19 hrs and I still had to put in oven for 45 mins to get it to 200F. He has NEVER gone over 13 hrs in his dome to get to 200F...both using 225F as our target temp.
Similar butt size, similar smoker temp...sure they vary but he has done probably 20 butts at least....all consisent from 11-13 hrs. No foil etc...
Why is this so? Why does the WSM (and others I am sure) take so much longer?
Just curious, thanks-
