I will be making my first attempt at a Boston Butt this coming weekend. I will be smoking 2 of them for about 15-20 people. I am using a rub that I found online. I am going to rub it and let it sit overnight before I cook it. I plan to use the Minion Method for the charcoal. I was going to wake up at 6am and smoke until about 6pm, but I see it could take longer (We have an 8 pm football game on TV that I need it ready for).
I now think I will start it around 10 pm on Friday night and leave it up to the BBQ gods through the night (I plan to get up once to check on everything).
I need some advice though: Briquettes or lump for the Minion Method? What kind of wood chunks should I use? Should I only use the chunks for the first 2-3hours of cooking? Will I be ok only getting up once overnight? Any good sauce recommendations?
Also, any other advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
