So, I have either neighbors coming for dinner or a trip to a housewarming party for a coworker of SWHBO tomorrow. I definitely have in-laws coming into town midweek, so they can go to a kindergarten celebration for SWHMO Jr. on Thursday.
Added up, it leads me to having two 7.5 pound butts on the egg for my first overnight cook. One has Bayou Dirt (local rub), one has plain kosher salt and ground pepper.
Now, have I had more red wine than is necessarily recommended for somebody trying something for the first time?
Undoubtedly.
Regardless, the egg has been sitting at 260 for about an hour. It is loaded with WGWW and a good bit of pecan and apple wood for smoke, and there is a drip pan filled with 2 beers, plenty of water, and Todd's Dirt.
I will update in the morning. For all those who have posted while I'm trying to get this straight, I apologize. Please see red wine levels, as noted above!

As long as you don't run out of ice or bourbon you should be fine...

Like Hap said Bourbon is the key. I am betting with this being your first overnight there won't be much sleep in your future. All will be fine-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini. Henderson, Ky.

Pork butts are about as no brainer a low and slow as you can get...
Enjoy the experience and rest assured they will be great. Better than anyone you're serving them to has had before.

Thank you @hapster and @mattmam4969! Firsts of anything are stressful, but I'm lucky that this is a big gift from the Mrs, and since she's been very happy with the food of the egg so far I have a decent amount of rope.

Just relax and don't stress about it. It will be great and you will be hooked on over nights!

Temp at 260 when I went to bed last night, around 11:30. Temp at 280 when I got up at 6:30 this morning. Love the egg!

Internal temp at 195, probe sliding like butter, little wiggle in the bone. Probably pull in around 30-40 minutes, and then FTC for 4 hours.
