Default Butts

A colleague at work had a birthday today, so I brought in some pork butts.
They were 7 lbs each, and I couldn't start on them until 7 PM the night
before, so I cooked a little hotter than usual - about 275-280°. When I got
up at 6 AM, the temp in the K was down to 210°, probably because the wind
had died down during the night. Still, after 11 hrs, the butts were great.
I let them rest 45 minutes and then they pulled easily. A little eastern NC
dressing, and they were just great. BTW, I used a mustard slather and some
Smart & Final cajun spice mix as the rub.
