They are roughly the same size, about 6 pounds a piece, but can't be sure until I separate and they are currently frozen. This seems like a good setup for a comparison. As I said I am open to anything, but if I don't get many responses I am going to try one of 3 things:
1: Following in the footsteps of Doc Blonder thaw one and leave one frozen and see if there is a large difference in flavor/bark
2: From the smoke seminar, smoke for 30 minutes and then move one to the oven for the remainder (interesting but its kinda been done)
3: Wrap one and leave the other unwrapped.
I have also toyed with the idea of baking powder/soda in the rub to test bark formation, and I have a humidifier is was thinking of cranking up into the intake, it may not be enough but I think I could add a gallon of moisture over the course of the cook.
Any other ideas or any from above you would like to see?
Edit: Was just thinking, I might be able to do several of these if splitting the butts doesn't matter. I'm thinking along the lines of resting for 30/60/90/120.
