5 lbs post-trim. Rubbed with mustard and Meat Church’s Holy Gospel. Smoked @ 225 for 8 hours, wrapped at 170 and smoked @ 250 for 4.5 more hours and pulled at 198. This one took forever for some reason! Silly me for thinking it would be a quick smoke because it was only 5 lbs.

It was tender, but definitely came out different than if I smoked a whole packer. Still tasty though!

Any tips for flats? Should I be pulling at a lower temp? I was afraid to leave it on longer thinking it would dry it out, where normally I’d pull a full packer around 205.

Every time you open the smoker and spray it, the meat cools off. I’d lay off the spray and just go with the wrap. If you’re lookin, you ain’t cookin’
