This will be my 2nd boston butt. The first one turned out pretty good.
I have my fantasy draft saturday at 4pm and want to have the butts ready. Its 2 butts i got from sams totalling about 13.75 lbs. My plan is to put them on about 11pm friday night and smoke them until they reach internal temp around 160. Wrap in foil and maybe put in oven and try to catch a quick nap while they finish. Hoping they will be done between 11 and 1 so i can let them rest for a few hours in a cooler.
Does that sound like a good time to start them to ensure they are done in time? Would it be better to finish in smoker or is there no difference in oven since its foiled? And lastly whats the best temp to complete them to 195 or 205...will they be more tender at 205? Thanks all i really hope it turns out well
