Going to smoke a smaller butt, about 6lbs. I usually cook 9-10lb ones and start the night before. But this time I'm not serving until about 5pm. Think I can throw it in the smoker in the morning and run about 250-260 and have it done in time? Or should I start tonight and cook at 180 overnight like I usually do and bump it up later in the morning?

I was taught what I think is a good trick by a nice yankee one time. It starts with two small butts or one big one which is cut in half. The bone in side is cooked nekked. The meat half gets wrapped at 170. Pull each when done. When it comes time to push and pull mix them 50/50. Gives a nice mix of Mr. Brown and Mrs. White. Gets the ying and yang in proper perspective. Pushed us into the money a few times.
