I'm cooking my first butts tonight for dinner tomorrow. Each one was abut 7.5 lbs before being trimmed. I'm planning on getting started this evening around 7-8:00, hoping to serve tomorrow around 6:00 PM. I'm planning on cooking using Kingsford and the Minion method. I was figuring that I would be ready pull the butts sometime tomorrow afternoon, wrap them and hold them in a cooler until ready serve.
The problem is that we have following current weather conditions: 39 degrees, rain and winds 15-25 mph (gotta love MN). Anyway, assuming that we aren't getting in drastic changes in the weather today (it's supposed to stay this way until Sunday).
Given these conditons, are there any changes I should make? Will i need a longer cook? Or more charcoal lit in the chimney? I don't have a wind shield, but I'm going to try and be creative about where I place the WSM to keep out of the wind as much as possible. Anything else I should do?
Any advice appreciated.
