Making two different kinds. One kinda Texas style and one more sweet southern style and I'll let him pick which one he likes.

Thanks Red, these are actually my first butts believe it or not. It's gonna be a real nice day for it.
 
They chose the willinghams style hands down!! I had all 9 guys I work with try both with lots of different BBQ sauce and the southern style won hands down! My wife went as far as to say not to do anything different next time. She loved it!!!
 
So, it's on. Friday June 10 I'm cooking 8 butts in my smoker. She'll be REALLY happy that day! I'm a little nervous, never cooked that much at once before. Any help is very appreciated. I hope I have what it takes!
 
What you need is someone to practice on and taste test. If this is your practice, I would be happy to volunteer for future practice sessions. No need to thank me.

Points for a great smoke.

Will do Duke!!! And I'll send some your way disco! Thanks for the points. It's turned into 10 butts by the way. Yikes!!!
 
The day is here. Practice officially over!! Ten butts all around 10 to 8lbs. Rubbed last night and got ready. Getting them on a little later than I wanted my smoker is being a little temperamental this morning.
