Can I smoke pork butt at 300?
Moreover, what temperature should I smoke my Boston butt?
I smoke Boston butts to a temperature of at least 190 degrees. If you like sliced BBQ , 185 degrees is fine but for pulled or chopped I want the final temp. to be at least 190. Once the internal temperatures reaches 190 I take the butt out of the smoker and immediately wrap it tightly with aluminum foil.
Beside above, can you smoke pork at 250? The cook time for a 4-pound pork shoulder smoking at 250 degrees is around 90 minutes per pound, but it is important to frequently monitor the internal temperature. There will be a stall where the temperature seems stuck at some point.
Subsequently, one may also ask, how long does it take to smoke a Boston butt at 300 degrees?
4 to 5 hours
Do you wrap pork shoulder in foil when smoking?
Wrap in foil: At the 5-hour mark the internal temp should be in the 160 range. Wrap in aluminum foil to keep the meat from getting too much smoke and to catch the moisture being released during the cooking process.
