Going to be doing my first butt on Saturday. It's about 9#. I also have a picnic that I'm going to throw on. I plan on pulling the butt and slicing the picnic. Using the Renowned Mr. Brown recipe for the picnic, not quite sure what I'm going to use on the butt. Oh yeah, first time using the BBQ Guru that I got for Xmas also.
Question: I'd like to plan to eat around 5:30pm or so, so I was thinking of throwing the butt on about 11:00pm Friday night, hoping it'll be done somewhere around 3:00 so that I can hold it in a cooler for a couple of hours before pulling. For the picnic, I was thinking of throwing it on (it's about 5#) around 9:00 or so.
Do these times seem appropriate, considering my EDT (estimated dining time)?
