    I do 250 degrees dome temp.

    General rule of thumb is 2 hrs per pound, but that is a very general rule of thumb.

    I do a spice rub from anywhere to 24 hours before, and do not brine.

    Have fun!

    Start early, forget the clock and trust the temp. If it's done early you can keep it hot wrapped in foil and placed in a pre-warmed beer cooler for hours.

    Go look at my post from yesterday. I cooked a 21 pounder at 250 dome and it was done at 21 hours.
