Smoker pre heated and staying between 245 and 250 with hickory chunks. 8+lbs pork butt has been rubbed down with yellow mustard and the rub was paprika, brown sugar, white sugar, salt,celery salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, dry mustard, garlic powder,onion powder and sat in the fridge for 14hrs. Its now been in the smoker since 5am centeral time hope its done just before 5pm so i can start pullin it around 6. Will remove when it hits 200 and then to rest. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks Bill more pics to come.

It will be close, if it doesn't look like it will be done in time you can foil it with some liquid & that will speed up the cooking time.
 
If I learned anything from my first one last weekend its that times go out the window. I had 2 shoulders around 8 pounds each (1 was slightly bigger than the other), and 1 finished in 12 hours and the other took 16 hours to get to 192 degrees (when i gave up on trying to reach that 200 degree mark).
 
Looking good for sure. Cant wait to see the finished pics
