I have a question about cooking overnight (and hopefully getting a full night's sleep!).
I have been regularly making 4lb and 6lb boston butts. 4lb averaged a 9 hour smoke and the 6 lb was at least 12 hours. I'd like to smoke some large ones at least 6.5 lbs overnight. Is there a way to get a 7-8 hour cooking period at 225-250 degrees while I'm sleeping and don't touch the smoker? I can usually get 3 hours easy, but then I typically add some fuel or water, or at least mix the fuel up a little. I'm especially worried the water won't last that long...
Thanks in advance!
