Praying for an all-nighter

Friends,

I just put a boneless 9 pound butt on the 18 inch wsm, using the bottom rack and a tightly packed MM. I have two chunks of pecan and three small apple chunks for smoke. I'm trying to keep the temp at 225-250, and really hope to go to bed by 12:30. And I really, really, really need this thing to run until some time after noon tomorrow, so that would be anything north of 12 hours. In a best case scenario I could pull it off at 3 or 4 tomorrow, but who knows. I need to eat around 6 tomorrow night, so I couldn't risk putting it on in the AM. So I suppose I'll sleep praying hard tonight, not bad for a padre!
 
Eric, I have a Maverick, but the smoker probe defected and I haven't replaced it yet. I decided the food probe is better served monitoring wsm temp and I can thermopen the butt. That's the plan anyway!

Richard, my two pecan chunks are softball sized and my three apple limbs are two inches thick by 4 or 5 inches long. I think the results will be subtle but tasty.

I'll try hard to post a pic, but I'm terrible with that so no promises! It's hanging in right now running at 250 at the top of the dome.
