I'm doing 30+ lbs of pork butt for a big potluck tomorrow. I need to have it off the smoker and wrapped to take with me by 8:00 AM (in a hot cooler, with towels, etc.), and will be served at 12:00. Obviously I need it done sometime between 6-7:30 tomorrow morning.
I generally figure 18-20 hours, which means putting it on at noon today. My question is what if its "done" at 4:00 AM, while I'm snoring away? An extra couple hours can't hurt it, right? It's a pretty forgiving piece of meat.
Also, I'm assuming the temp of the smoker is consistent and appropriate. I know that if the temps get whacky I may have issues.
Thanks for the advice.
