I have two butts that I just trimmed, tied and dry brined that I plan on smoking tomorrow in my Weber with Smokenator. I had my butcher lop the roast in half, so now both weigh right at 3.25#, and are very similar dimensionally.
I'm having some co-workers over tomorrow around 7:30 PM, and my goal is to have everything ready to go (and impress a pretty girl). What time should I start these guys tomorrow AM?
I have a CyberQ, so even if I start them at 4:00 AM I'll be able to get some naps in. In test runs I've been able to get about five hours of good quality heat with the Smokenator without having to reload charcoal, but it's supposed to be pretty windy tomorrow, so I'm assuming I'll have to reload every two hours or so.
What do you more knowledgable folks think? I have a well insulated cooler, lots of clean towels, and a heating pad, so I'd rather finish early and foil it than have everyone around waiting. Man, I'm apprehensive trying a new cut of meat with an audience.
Thanks guys.
