Bull Big Pork Butt

[Randy2023]

Was wondering if I should cut this in half to smoke. New to smoking, just received my 700 last week. This is a 15 pounder.

How big is it? Not seeing any other information than "big pork butt" in the title.

Sorry 15 pounds.

Sounds to me more like a shoulder "picnic butt" at that size. But either way. Cook it whole. Itll take a while to cooking it but itll be worth it..

Have fun with the cook and post up before and after pics.

If it's still cryopaked it may be 2 butts, that's how Costco around here sells them.

One more thing. I suggest butcher tying it as well. It keeps the butt more uniform for even cooking and aid in keeping it from falling apart as it gets more tender. Easier to take off the grates as well... you wont have pork falling all over the place, loosing that precious meat down in the bottom of the barrel

I had this same question not to long ago and in the end I agree cook the whole thing.

@padlin00 brings up a good point. It's likely there are two butts in the package.

I agree, never seen a single butt that was 15#. Seems more likely to have a double pack.
