So i am going to be doing my first smoke sunday and I needed some advice.
I have 2 Butts. AVG 8 Lbs. I am using Jeffs rub on one and Alton Brown's rub on the other. I am using Royal Oak lump, But not sure on what to use for the smoking flavor. Maybe Mesquite?
Also I am going to make a mop. I know I want to have Apple Juice, And Captain Morgan, Should I go 50/50 with just those two, Or should I add something to it?
Second thing on the menu, Fatty. (JD Mild, Cooper Sharp Cheese, Proscuitto, Green, Yellow, Red Bell Pepper. Wrapping it all in Maple Slab Bacon.
How many pounds of JD should I use? Will one package do it, or should I go for 2? How long does the AVG fatty take?
Third Thing, ABTs. About 45 of them. I am filling them with a Strip of Prosuitto, and a Mixture of Cream Cheese, Sour Cream, and Shredded Chedder. Wrapping them in Hickory Backon, and Sprinling half with a bit of Jeff's Rub. I am guessing the ABTs should take about 45 minutes at 230*
I want to time it so the Fatty and the ABTs are done after the Butts have rested and been pulled. So I can serve everything together.
Given that information. What time saturday should I start the Butts in order to be safe? When should the Fatty be put on from that point, and lastly the ABTs? Basically I need some help roughing out a schedule.
Thanks in advance. And their will be a ton of QueVue

I forgot to take pics of the Alton's Brown rub being put on. I got distracted the oldest decided he wanted a bath. (His hands were Dirty)
80* and 86* 2 hours in. Temps at 237* and 229*
137* and 135* Putting along 231* and 240*, I think I found my plateau.
