Hello all, a comfortable 30 degrees here in the great white north. I have used an old refrigerator with a cold smoke box off to the side for a few years that I made. Now I just bought a Masterbuilt 30" electric digital smoker. I have a #4 pork butt ready to go for Saturday. I brined it for 24hrs, now its rubbed down for next 24hrs. I plan on smoking it at 200 degrees for about 7-8hrs than wrapping and putting in cooler. Combo cherry/hickory smoke. Looking forward to reading about everyones experiences!
 
Sounds like you've done your research. I'd make sure to bring the internal temp around 200 or 205F before foiling. You may be better to smoke it 10-15° F hotter, around 220°F - 225°F.  I like to rotate my foiled/cooler'd pp every hour to let the juices flow.

Good luck, let's see some pics!!

Here is pic of final product. Shoulda bumped heat up a little bit. Did quite fully pull apart. Taste was spot on though. Thanks for the warm welcomes!
