I got three Boston butts and marinated two in Captain Morgan and apple juice. I applied a dry rub to the third one the night of the third and applied the rub to the other two right before I started the smoker. The smoker came with a vent and thermometer, but I want to replace the thermometer anyway because it's approximately 40 degrees off and there doesn't appear to be a way to calibrate it. I guess I could mentaly subtract 40 degrees from what it reads as I'm cooking. Anyway, I poured the marinade into the water pan, added apple juice and apple chips and the smoke was underway. I served the dinner about six hours later and everyone loved it. The only trouble is that I forgot which roast I hadn't marinated in the CP and apple juice.
 
now this is just me....but if you couldn't tell which one had the captain soak...next time i'd use the juice to soak'em all and throw the captain on the rocks!!!
