Hi
I have a pair of pork shoulders weighing 9.5lbs and a 7.75lbs. It is my intent to do my first pork butts as an overnight smoke and hopefully cook them at 250 measure at the vent.
1) My assumption is that it will take 12 - 15 hours to cook.
2) Should I put both butts on at the same time and then take the smallest one out when it is done or should I add it a few hours after I've started the big one. I am assuming that it makes more sense to put them both on at the same time to better regulate the temperature in the WSM
3) I am doing these one day in advance and will pull them and refrigerate them. I will just take the meat to my Sunday function and reheat it in the microwave. Do you see any problems doing it this way?
4) I will rub them the night before and then add more just before smoking. I've also read that some just rub and go. Is there a preference?
I am a wee bit nervous since this will be my first attempt at pulled pork on the WSM but you have to start sometimes.
Thank
