I have everything ready for my first smoke on Sunday, that is everything but the timing. I plan to do a 6-7 pound Butt which I am picking up from the store tomorrow afternoon. I would like to smoke it the whole way, but for a first smoke, I am a little nervous about an overnight smoke and controlling temp.
I want to eat at around 7pm and my estimation is that a 6.5lb butt should take between 10-14 hours to smoke. Should I just go ahead and cook and foil and spend my time learning my new cooker?
Also, if I want to put the butt on at 8:00am how long can I cook before foiling? What temp should I foil at or does it really matter?
