Pork Butts

What temperature do you cook your Boston Butts when doing a large cook? I'm currently doing mine at 235 wanted to know if I could get away with a higher temp to cook a little faster.

You can get away with a lot higher temps. I cook mine between 265-285.

Cool! I'll have to try that when I have a big load on the cooker. Do you still get good smoke flavor at those temps?

I cook everything at the same temps regardless of the amount. 265-ish.

Yep. Always get great smoke flavor.

We use the HOT/FAST method. About 285, cook for 4 hours and then wrap in foil and cook another 4 hours.
