Reply to "Advice on 3 Butts in my new Q"

I cook the butts at 250 in my 009 and I will spray them with apple juice at 150 deg. I have an air pump bottle which works well. I've tried foiling the butts at that time a few times but have found it doesn't make a difference with the butts. I also spray my baby backs at 3 hours with apple juice and then foil for 2 hours baste then 1/2 hour uncovered then on the grill for 10min with glaze or sauce. I cook everything in aluminum pans with a raised grate with a beer in the bottom of the pan at the intitial start of the cook. Makes foiling easy and I hate to clean. I rarley have to clean the grates or replace the foil on the bottom of the smoker other than every 4 or 5 smokes. I know some people on here will crindge at that but it works for me : ). I've been know to hold the butts at 150deg setting if they finish earlier for a few hours. I usually will kick it up back to 250 about 1/2 hour before pulling them. Will wrap them with foil in a cooler if traveling to a party with the goods.
