Am fairly new to the BGE and I am looking to do a small (maybe 5 pound) pork butt for New Years Eve and am interested in a tried and true recipe that will set us up for a successful start to 2021. Thanks for any advice and HNY!

fill the lump almost to the top of the fire ring.
I like to put several smoking chunks within the lump.
put a drip pan under the grate WITH AN AIR GAP. You can use some balled up foil under the pan. The pan does not need liquid - the egg is a humid cooking environment.
pull the butt when it probes like butta regardless of the temp.
enjoy the cook and the eats!
Now for the disclaimer- I have consistently found that once you are in your weight range that you are gonna cook it will likely take upwards of 2+ hrs/lb at the above temperature.
With all that tossed on your plate- FTC is your friend. Foil, towel, cooler to hold if finished early. Foil with the cook going to power it thru. FWIW-
Feel free to serve up questions as the cook progresses as there are many here who will gladly help out.
Welcome aboard and enjoy the journey. Above all, have fun.
Can't wait for 2020 to become true hindsight!
Tons of great advice & recipes here
