I am cooking for Habitat for Humanity next saturday and have about 70 people coming.  I have done several butts in the past but I really want to nail one for this event.  Anybody got a fail proof, great tasting, go slap your mamma recipe for a butt?  I will be cooking 4 eight pound butts.

    Rub with whatever.
    Cook at 300 dome, raised indirect to 205 internal temp.

    Make a sauce out of apple cider vinigar, black pepper, crushed red pepper, and brow sugar. Bring to a low boil and remove.

    Do everything in advance and store your already pulled meat in foil trays with some sauce already poured in. Heat on a grill or in oven just before you serve.

    Have cheap burger buns, cole slaw, dill pickle chips, and whatever BBQ sauce you like. I don't use BBQ sauce on this but some folks like it.
    Be careful, man! I've got a beverage here.

    Can you explain what is a raised indirect?

    First you need something to block the direct heat from the coals (indirect), Raised just means that your grate is higher than normal, or you have a smaller grate "in the dome".

    e.g. If you have a plate setter, grid on top, that is raised, indirect.

    All to get cheaper brisket!
