What temperature setting should I use on a DBS?

[Smokin Coop]

From my research on this forum I am thinking anywhere between 215 and 220 will work.  I am doing my first 2 butts this weekend and I will doing them as follows:
- Mustard Slather
- Jans Rub
- 6 hours in fridge
- Smoke at 220° for 15-20 hours...until internal temp hits 190°
- FTC for 3 hours
- Pull

Many of us put the rub on and let it sit in the fridge overnight or longer.  How many actual hours worth of pucks are you planning to use?

Probably actual smoke time of 3-4 hours; Is this correct?

3-4 hours of smoke is a good start. I usually smoke closer to the 4 hours but if you like less smoke then go to three. With a pork butt I feel you need more rather than less. I have yet to smoke a butt and thought there was too much smoke.

I run smoke for 6 hours with great results  ;D

I smoke for 6 hours with Hickory, I think some people believe that after 4 hours the smoke does not penetrate the meat anymore.
