8lbs butt Plan to go at 300 for about 7 hours

You may want to either bump up to 350, or plan on longer than 7 hours, and maybe both. Either way, cook to internal temp (200-210), not time. Once it hits 160, you can wrap in foil to help push through the stall. Better to finish early and FTC than to have everyone drooling over the great smell, and not be ready to eat for hours.

Thanks Reading many different things and formulating ideas for first time. Kind of going with how my old smoker worked.

Good luck..Enjoy ..Work on 1.5 hours per pound..

And definitely going with internal temp, not just time.

I've done 2 nine pounders in 6 to 6
5 cooking at 300 to 350, but I agree with @Tjcoley that if you are pressed for time you can wrap it at 160 or if when it gets to 185 you can crank it up to around 400 To finish. Remember, if you want sliced you only need 185, if you want you want 195 or a little over and it should probe like butter. Have fun.
