I am about to try my first ever attempt at smoking meat. I have a 4 pound Boston Butt, I have Hickory or Pecan chunks to chose from, my new CharGriller w/ SFB is cured, my gloves, chimney, and thermometer have all arrived in the mail. I have some Wicked Good Charcoal. I'm ready! I put mustard and rub on the meat last night. It's in the fridge waiting. I have a couple of questions.
1. 1 to 1.5 hours per pound is a good way to estimate the cook time right? I realize that internal temp is what determines when it's done, but if I want it done in time for dinner I can guess when to start by saying 1 to 1.5 hours per pound, right?
2. Which wood would you use?
