I just bought a Yoder YS640 and did my first cook a few days ago. I have guests showing up on Saturday and they are begging me to make them pulled pork. I won't be home Friday to start an overnighter, so I have to smoke on Saturday and be ready to serve at 6pm. The soonest I can get the cook started is 9am - so I only have a 8 hour cooking time at most, if I'm going to rest the meat before pulling.
I'm nervous about doing a hot and fast on the Yoder. I always cooked a butt 12 hours or so on my WSM, so I have no experience with hot and fast cooking.
So I'm trying to make quick and rather uninformed decisions about the obvious stuff - like how to get a good bark, what starting temp, when to wrap (some recipes say at 150... that seems low to me).
Any advice from the 'hot and fast' experts is most welcome!!
