Need Tips on Smoking Boston Butt

We use a stabbing tenderizer that we got from bass pro shop.....has about 20 spikes about a inch and a half long....DW gets all her frustrations out when preparing meat....lol.....flavor goes all the way thru and so far is cut with fork tender and not dry....most times we will do marinade or cook over open fire. We butterfly chickens and turkeys and smoke with whatever wood available...it all seems to be good.....course we deal mostly with meats 3 - 4 inches thick....and the smoke is always in every part.....we use the adjustable grate we got from bass pro also....it came with 2 ft rod, but I got 4 ft so can start everything even with full flame fire it rotates 360 degrees so you can tend you meat not directly over fire and adjust as flame goes down to nothing...
to keep it temp you want.....a lot of the time it seems way too smokey for me, but DW likes it that way....not saying way smokey is bad, sometime like to taste just meat flavor....if bone is issue, then just have butcher saw the roast in the thickness you need.....that way cooking time is less and flavor is better.....good luck with whatever solution you find.....on a butterfly chicken cooking time about an hour and it has best brown crunchy skin you can imagine and will fall off the bone.....without even stabbing and smoke all the way thru.
