I'm gonna smoke 2 large butts this weekend for a get together but also need to make ribs. I won't all fit in my Cimarron. Starting the night before, I can yank the butts off around 10 the next morning, then put the ribs on. Since it's gonna take about 5-6 hours for the ribs, my question is what should I do with the butts?
I can't cooler them for the 6 hours. I think after about 4 maybe 5 tops... they start to get mushy. Should I cooler them for a couple of hours then just pull them apart and put the meat in a covered foil pan? Uncovered? Should I leave out or put in the fridge?
I actually want this effort to turn out. It seems that everytime I do a big Q, there's always something I should've done differently.
