I have just acquired a 6.55 lb Boston Butt from Publix and stopped at Kroger for some Bad Byron's. I plan to start tomorrow morning in order to have ready for dinner. What is the popular opinion on trimming the fat cap? Also, how long before placing on Egg would you apply rub?
I will follow up with pictures. This is the maiden voyage of my thermapen and AR. SWMBO'd will be getting some shoes for this I feel sure.

+ or - an hour. I put BR then mustard and more BR.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

What do you consider "dinner time"? I would leave the fat cap and remove the fat during the pulling process.

You can go ahead and rub now and throw it in the fridge. Also I place the fat side down on the grid.

I cooked two 8 pound butts last weekend and started them at 9:30 AM, butts went into the cooler for their rest period at 5:00 PM. I would start them earlier and have them in the cooler - "cooked", rested and ready to pull and serve. You know the rest period can hold the finished butt for four or five hours.. This allows you to have a cold beverage and relax BEFORE dinner..
