    Thanks for all of the advice. There are a few options I didn't know I had.

    New guy with questions on Boston butt

    Thanks everyone! I think I'll take PignIt's advice and start at 9pm @ 250. My temps were probably a bit too low on my first attempts. 20 hours on a butt does seem a bit excessive now that I think about it. I hadn't thought about finishing in the oven as a backup. Thanks for that tip! When...
