How will it impact my cooking time? Assume two 7 lbs butts.? Have 20 people coming over...can't mess this up on timing! Best temp for cooking. All advice is appreciated!

there is no difference in timing between 2 butts and 1. One of them may cook a little faster than the other but that would be the case if you had 2 eggs and cooked one on each. They are all a little different but adding another butt does not change the cook time

^^^, what he said.
When do you plan to serve them (pulled pork, I assume)?---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti.

Did 2 bone in butts 8 lbs each a couple of weeks ago. 350 dome indirect took a little over 5 hrs to get to 195 internal. Did not foil, let them rest for 30 minutes or so then pulled. Turned out great...16 folks and no leftovers.Opelika, Alabama

Make sure there is an air gap between the two. If they touch at the start seperate them after they shrink.They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That's against their interests. - George Carlin

8.75 and 8.5 pound butts. Serving at 4:00 tomorrow. Was planning on starting tonight at 10 pm at 250. Thoughts? Advice?
-
That sounds good. Just make sure you are setup for good airflow and load the charcoal to the bottom of your indirect piece. If you get to around noon tomorrow and are still well short of being done don't be afraid to bump the temp up to 300-350* to get it finished and time for the meat to rest before pulling.I raise my kids, cook and golf.

I like simple problem s like yours.I might start about 8 am with a dome temp at 270 indirect setup and just enjoy yourself.I've never had bad bbq just some is better than others. It's just a learning thing.You can do it.All the above info is great, just don't be afraid of it.

Ok. One but is at 190 and the other one is at 175. What gives? They are a quarter pound different? Not serving until 500. What to do? Can I ftc a butt for8 hrs?
-
My experience from 3 days ago, I put two 10 pound Boston butts in at 225-250 for 17.5 hours and they were both at 203-205ish when I pulled them. With 3 hours left I pulled and wrapped them then bumped temp to 300 because the dome temp finally dropped below 200* and I couldn't raise it back up.
