bobvoeh Posted May 25, 2008 Report Posted May 25, 2008 I'm gonna do an 8lb bone-in pork butt tomorrow. I'll do direct heat at 245 degrees. Looking for 190 internal temp. Is there a ballpark time for how long butts take? I'm just looking for an approximate starting time. I know its done when its done but anything will help.

Might wanna drop your temp if your going direct. The meat starts to get pretty crispy and dry over the longer period of cooking a butt. Indirect, that butt would probably take around 12 hours to reach 190 internal. But going direct, it should cut it by several hours. Just keep a close check after at least 6 hours. BTW, since you seem to like a more direct style cooking, might wanna check out this thread. http://www.komodokamado.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2194 -=Jasen=-
bobvoeh Posted May 25, 2008 Author Report Posted May 25, 2008 Good info, thanks. I'll try using the heat diffuser for my first KK Butt, better safe than sorry. Guess I'll try to start it around 5am. I like that idea of the kiln shelf from the other post. I'll check that out.
