I'm cooking a 12 lb Boston Butt for the Superbowl tomorrow. I generally smoke them to around 195° (gets it really tender, but can still mostly be sliced). Since the game is at 5:30 Louisiana time, I would have to start it at roughly 10 pm which I REALLY don't want to do. I've put roasts in the oven overnight after 5 or so hours on the grill numerous times and they come out great, but since the game is so late compared to when we normally eat after doing this, I'm worried about it drying out (or not being cooked enough, for that matter).
My question is, what temperature would I have to set the oven in order for it to be ready around 5 pm or so? Can I set it at 175, or is that too low? Is this even possible considering the long time period?
I normally smoke them on my kettle grill at about 225 the entire time (MAN I miss my old smoker), but since I'm having to do it overnight, have such a long time period, and will be cheating by using the oven, I'm not sure what to do. TIA!
