You should ask this in Q-talk, you'll get responses. A lot of condescending answers and even some good ones! Pork butt--get a rub and sprinkle a lot on. Get your smoker running at 225 to 250 and smoke it for 10 hours or so, until the meat is 195-200 degrees. Then wrap it in heavy duty foil, put it in the smallest cooler it will fit in and fill the cooler also with towels to help insulate the butt. The temp will rise probably at least 10 degrees more and should rest in the cooler about an hour. Honestly you don't even have to wrap it but many of us think it helps to make the meat moist. I think a common mistake is going by the clock and not the temp. Always go with the temp rather than the amount of hours. It's a forgiving meat, have fun!
