We are going to do two butts in our cookshack to demo in the store. We want them to be ready @ 12 pm. If i start them at 7pm the night before, will 2 7lbers be ready in time? Temp of 225 or 180? Thanks!

cant comment aboit a cook shack smoker but if you start at 7pm i cant see why a 7lb butt wouldnt be done by noon the next day if not i'd look at cooking on something elese i guess you know to cook arround 225 250 but no higher than 250 and if you wrap in foil or use a foil pan that will do 2 things speed up your cookin time and allow the butt to cook in its own juices but i wouldnt wrap for the first 6 hours,hope this helps and good luck to ya'll
Like Jack said. I would figure about 10 hours total cook time at 225* if cooking to 195* internal. Certainly no more than 12 hours. But my numbers are based on not opening the cooker during the cook. YMMV
Then you can remove/foil and cooler, or just turn the CS down to 160* to hold for the demo.
