I wish you luck, are you shooting for half time?

I have smoked quite a few butts for pulled porks and can not plan them for a certain time, each and everyone of them have been different. I have brought them to 205º in 8 to 10 hours and as long as 27 hours !!! That is why I have around 15 pounds of pulled pork food savered and frozen.
 
Ben, I doubt it will make it by kick-off, be patient halftime is probably a reacheable goal. Thats why alot of us do this big time taking items the day before, and then re-heat! drink a few cold ones and just relax, make up a few snacks to hold people over for another hr or more!

I have to tell ya the point from 40- to 140 is relatively quick, usually 3-5 hrs, the time after 145 goes for ever, especially the 155-165 marks, then it goes pretty fast again.
