Brined pork butt

[b-one]

Got a 8# butt tossed it in some brine. Plan is to smoke with cherry and pecan around 250*. Hoping to put on the WSM around midnight no foil till resting time. Better get working on some rub!

Do you notice a difference with the brine? I usually brine leaner cuts but haven't tried it on a fatty cut like a butt.

Didn't notice much difference with the brine a longer soak may help only soaked it about 8hrs it sure smelled great out of the brine! Next time I'll soak for 24-36hrs just forgot about doing it hence the shorter brine.

How long before the cook do you all apply the rub?

I generally rub and refrigerate 10 to 18 hours before putting in the smoker. Depends on the time frame I have to work with.  I wouldn't worry about rubbing as little ass 8 hours before smoking.
