Welcome Steve.  Butts are funny.  I have done a 8 lb in 12 hrs and an 8 lb in 19 hrs.  Leave yourself plenty of time. You can always FTC for several hours if they get ready early.  I would start about 5:00 PM staurday at the latest if doing both at the same time.  220* cabinet temp is good. Take the IT to 195* and FTC.

about 4 hrs of smoke, maybe use 225 to 230 for cabinet temp.

rotate them piggies after the smoke.

Take pictures! ;D

IMO you must FTC- It makes it much better. Good luck.

i put the 2 butts in at 4:30 pm at 225 with 4 hrs smoke. checked at 5:30 am and they were t 190. left them about 1 hr longer to 195. removed and ftc for about 2 hrs. the smell was great and the meat fell apart. everyone really enjoyed it. thanks to the forum for the help.

Congratulations on a successful first butt
