Hey there SMF'ers!
This is my first time doing an overnight smoke or a Pork Butt for New Years so would love any advice. I purchased a Maverick ET-732 thermo (for my Christmas present of course :D) and picked up a 10lb butt. I have a Brinkmann Pitmaster Deluxe (side firebox style) and after researching the Minion Method, picked up a couple 17lb bags of Royal Oak Lump Charcoal (previously I have been running charcoal briquettes).
Get home from work about 4pm on NYE, start the fire should get the butt in by 5pm, so hoping to be ready to eat by about 1pm on New Years day. Does that sound good?
Any recommendations on the rub? Also, to mop or not to mop?
Thanks all!
10Lb butt should be good for about 8 people right?
