Smoked Butt for Potluck

So, my department here at work is having their own potluck lunch separate from the rest of the company - I decided to smoke a pork butt for the occasion.

About 8 pounder, smoked with apple chunks @ 275 for about 10 1/2 hours to an internal temp of about 205.  After I took it off the egg about 7:30a, I foiled and wrapped in a hot towel before putting it in a styrofoam cooler for storage until lunch.  I also retained about a cup and a half of drippings for use after it's pulled this afternoon.

My butts are a bit unconventional - I use a yellow mustard binder with montreal steak seasoning as a rub - I also use a drip pan 3/4 filled with a 50/50 apple cider vinegar water mix.

End results speak for themselves, though.  I'll shred it about 1/2 hour before we eat, and I'll let you folks know how many non-IT folks drift over to our potluck.
