Re: First Time Boston Butt . . .
4 lbs will not go near as long as an 8 lb'er....so 16 hrs will be a shoe maker recipe. And if it's cooked right you'll not be able to slice it...way too tender. Just take a couple of forks and pull it apart.

Wow, ya gotta love that kinda deal
Re: How long should I cook an 9 pound butt?
I cooked 2 on the fast track last night. Around 6-7 or so hours at about 250 and then the last 2-3 hours at 300ish. Foiled them tight and let them sit in the cooler covered with towels for 4 1/2 hrs or so. They pulled great, looked great and tasted great.
Indirect. About 9 hours to about 200 degrees.
Re: Use Your Imagination
Well, it's worth a try...might be a log jam in the middle though. But we've all seen the pic of 27 racks on a large egg (where's the whiz when ya need him)...so I reckon it's possible.
Butt is the usual first offering.
I pass by an Ingles grocery store on the way home from work everyday and look at the 'specials' that they have on the sign out front. Yesterday they had butts for .98 cents a lb...errrrrrrrrrrrggggg (that's supposed to be the sound my truck makes when I slam on brakes)...so I got 2. That's what I'm gonna cook tonight.
Good luck, post some pics.
I dunno, I just thought they was mills...and that sounds so much more important. So, do they turn and grind the peppercords/salt...or do ya shake em? I can't actually tell by the photo.
But either way, they shore is purdy.
Dude, you just bought that thing and already tore it up?? Jeez!

Yeah, I been pretty rough on it driving over trees and stuff. Snatched a coupla hydralic hoses off...a couple differnt times. I had a few times where I heard this weird noise as I was holding a tree up in the air and suddenly hydralic fluid was spraying me down. Man it's fun driving over trees
