Another Buckeye! Hey, go ahead and do the Butt like you want, then after it is done subject it to others for tasting? Why, to see if they can taste the charcoal!
Now, if they did, next time get some wood chunks at a store and start them like charcoal (in a chimmney) and use only wood , them taste.....
I will assure you the taste will be phenonmenal
Just saying,
have fun and
SMOKE HAPPY
