I'm doing a contest timing on butts/ribs this weekend on a friends 18 wsm that I'm going to borrow for a contest in a couple of months. This smoker will be the butt/rib cooker for me & I think I've got a pretty good handle on rib timing but he's not done a butt on it so doesn't have any timing tips to give me. If I want the butt to come off at 4pm what time will I need to start/foil (approx.) w/ cook done at 250-275 range? The cooking topics here shows 12+ hrs cook for all of them but no mention of foil so assume it'd be much quicker if foil was done. I assume the butt will be in the 8-10lb range but haven't got it yet. I've done many butts but did them on my BDS so I know times there but that is my brisket/chicken cooker so no room on it for these. Any help/advice appreciated
