Ok, I'm still figuring out the Qview, so this may be a little sketchy, but I'm posting this for practice.  I had a 6.44# bone-in butt and  a couple rack of bb's.

Just a dry rub, over gulden's mustard, I usually brine my pork but decided to try it without.  This is Jeff's rub.

The ribs-top one got Jeff's rub, the bottom one my usual rub, which has more spice & herbs.  All 3 were rubbed the day before.  I'm using a used CS Smokette, after years of improvising w/ an OLD propane grill and a weber kettle.Per CS I don't preheat the smoker, set it to 225, and used 3 oz of apple chips; I would use 4 next time.

2 hours - time to foil.  Mixture of 1/4 cup each Jumex peach nectar and Maker's Mark in each packet. Went 2-1.25-1. such a nice day, I'm bbq-ing barefoot (this was mid-sept).

The butt hit 160 at about 4-1/2 hrs, got foiled. I was doing a rotating batch, after the ribs came off after about 5 hours, some beer-soaked brats went on for 1-1/2 hrs, they came off and a batch of beans went on. Kind of a hybrid recipe of part of Dutch's and my Gramma's.  I had bush maple beans, so it was already kind of sweet so I skipped the pineapple; added a bunch of cooked bacon bits, 1/2 a big chopped onion sauteed just a bit in the bacon fat for more flavor, some chopped green pepper, ketchup, brown sugar with cider vinegar added, black pepper, and gulden's.
