How Long Does It Take To Smoke A Pork Butt?
Smoking a pork butt typically takes around 10-14 hours depending on its size and the smoking temperature. It is recommended to smoke the meat at a low temperature of around 225-250°F until it reaches an internal temperature of 195-205°F. It is important to maintain a steady temperature and monitor the meat to ensure it does not dry out or overcook. Resting the meat for at least 30 minutes before serving allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a tender and flavorful pork butt.
