They are all salted and tied up with butcher twine and waiting to be rubbed. My issue is that I know having 4 smaller butts would normally cut down the cook time but they are going to be really close together (possibly touching each other) since I am cooking them on a RecTec mini so I'm not sure when I should start smoking them.
The party starts at 2 tomorrow and I am going to shoot for them to be done at noon to give me some leeway because I will just throw them in a Faux Cambro if they hit temp early. Do I start them at 5-6pm tonight under the assumption they are 2 12 pound butts? Or 2-3am under the assumption they are 4 6-7 pound butts? or somewhere in between?
