The whole point of buying a pellet is set and forget. Why would you not do
tonight? Then let rest before serving.

I do low and slow and don’t wrap during cook, takes about 14-15 hrs for me

Saw that guy and immediately trust him. Looks like he knows good barbeque.

This guy has some great recipes for cooking. His pork belly candy is money.

Can you potentially do it in 8 hours if you want to? Like at 250+?

You can. Just monitor the intermal temp closely.

Why even risk it? Just start them before you go to bed at 225

Low and slow for me. Start tonight and let them go 14-16 hours to 195 degrees

I'd start them late tonight and hope to finish mid morning tomorrow. Stick them

I wouldn’t. You’ll also want to let them sit for at least an hour before you eat

Start tonight for sure. If they hit the right temp a few hours early wrap them

Cook them through the night and let them stew wrapped in a cooler before game

As others have said just put them on tonight. They can rest for several hours

I have a dumb question… Do I wrap them in butcher paper or tinfoil before I wrapped in a towel?

Do your wrap at around 165 degrees. Use tinfoil or butcher paper (the purists

If you're concerned with preserving bark, butcher paper is definitely the way

Not a dumb question. I have done 2 of them, I never wrapped and preferred that

cutting it close but you allow no rest time...they don't take as long as brisket

That's funny - my brisket always goes quicker than my pork butts.
Eddie
9/9/22 5:25pm
yeah, I've had some pork butts take longer especially those with long stalls

I always buy the Costco butts. Don't remember the last time I only cooked one.

Always plan for smokes to take longer than you expect--finish it early and hold

Plan on 14-15 hours. use mustard as a binding agent for the rub. In the morning,

Pork butt is pretty forgiving and has a wide temp window, but...

Yes you can. Pork butts are way more forgiving than a brisket. For pork you can

However, since you're using pellets, you can start tonight and smoke at 225 for
