I got a 10 lb packer from costco I will be putting on my xl this weekend for a feed at about 4 pm sunday. was thinking about putting it on at 10 pm sat night will that cooking at 225 to 250 . Thinking I wil need 15 - 18 hours. I am correct?

Thanks for your input!

did mine at 265 grid as suggested by Cen-Tex figure 1.5 to 2 hours a pound . mine turned out great . start checking for tenderness about 180 or so your meat probe or fork should slide in like butter mine cooked to 200/205 internal . good luck and enjoy the cook

plan for 20 hours to be safe. You can double foil it and wrap in towels and hold it in a cooler for several hours if needed.

This^^^ Always, Always err on the side of getting done early with butts and briskets. They hold so well when you FTC, that it just makes no sense to try to "time" them to be finished at exactly serving time.

Thanks for the info. Based on this I am planning on putting on at 5 pm Saturday night for a 4 pm dinner on sunday with a few hours of FTC. Do folks think this is a good plan?

Thanks!

If you do it at 265 grid it won't take near that long. Hour to 1.5 max

Just did a ten pounder, trimmed to eight maybe eight and a half pounds, ten hours. It was perfect. Cen-Tex is soooo right.

At 250, sorry.

I cook them between 235-250 and I would bet a 8-10 pounder would take no more than 11-13 hours.
