My son's 2nd birthday party is this Saturday and I plan on smoking two 9lb butts for pulled pork. Due to an all day meeting scheduled Friday at work, I have two options:
1. Rub the butts down, wrap in saran wrap and place in fridge late Thursday evening, say around 10pm.
2. Rub the butts down, wrap in saran wrap and place in fridge Friday evening around 5pm.
I plan on getting the smoker started around midnight and start smoking around 1am Saturday morning.
So how long is too long for the butts to soak with the rub? Is 27 hours too long with Option 1? Is 8 hours too short with Option 2?
Any info. is appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin
