Hey all, this Friday night will be my first overnight cook. A 15lb bonless butt and a 13lb packer. I was looking for 2 smaller butts but this is what RD had. I plan on dinner on Saturday around 5:30-6:00 pm. I'm also doing the cook on my LSG offset using stubbs briquettes with a charcoal basket. And planning to run around 225-230 degrees. I do have 2 mt-733 to keep an eye on things inside and have a fux cambro all ready. Thanks to everyone here in the pit I feel pretty confident but do have some questions.
1. What time should I put these bad boys on to get them done on time. I know every cut is different. And I'm seeing a lot of different times posted here.
2. Should I put both on at the same time?
3. Would preheating the pit with a weed burner be a good idea? I have noticed that when I use the basket putting a small amount of lit coals in one corner by the time the pit is up to temp and stable about 1/4 of the basket is already lit. My thought is I can keep my vents more closed to save fuel.
Thanks everyone, all thoughts and guidance will be much appreciated. Here are pics of the labels.
