But just for reference, I paid around $16 for an 8lb bone in pork butt, $20 for. 10lb pork butt, and $40 for a 12ish lb brisket (I think - I forgot to look at the weight). Maybe $5 worth of pellets. So $80, and all day in the smoker, I’m gonna end up with 15-20 lbs of cooked meat (I don’t really know how much weight is lost in the cook). That’s atleast 15-20 meals. Less than $5 a meal, plus whatever vegetable I add to it. Pretty reasonable overall cost is another reason I do it this way. Hell, even if the meat prices were double, it’s still reasonable. I think it justifies the added price of sourcing the meat to be honest. Maybe I’m not thinking of everything, but still, something to consider.[/QUOTE]
