I'm planning on smoking 4 butts overnight (Thursday), pull on Friday, refrigerate, and serve at a party for 35 or so Saturday afternoon.
I'm guessing the 4 butts are two at 7 pounds and two at 6 pounds.
If I operate at 250 (lid), am I looking at 10-14 hours (1.5-2 hrs/lb ... based on largest butt) once the WSM is at temp? I'm trying to figure out what time to start Thursday evening.
Also, any thoughts on whether to put the larger butts on the top or bottom grate?
Thanks in advance. I haven't used the WSM in several years, so I'm a bit anxious.
