So I have a BBQ tomorrow that we are doing at my house...  Dinner is around 5-6 Oclock.  I am cooking a 7.5# Boston Butt with the bone in it.  The fat has been trimmed and it has been marinating in a brine since yesterday afternoon.  I am figuring I will start it in the smoker for a few hours to get the smoke flavor going then finish it in the slow cooker.

With that being said I want to start it tonight at 8-9pm and run it until about 12am in the smoker (3-4 hours) and let it get the smoke flavor.  Then I will put it in the slow cooker until its time to eat the next day (about 16-18 hours) so we are looking at a total cook time of over 20 hours due to timings...  If its in the slow cooker it should be fine for a long period of time and not dry out?

Also, should I set the slow cooker on low or high?

Thanks for the advice!
 
Set it on low, as long as there is liquid in there it won't dry out.Chicken stock would work well.
