I didn't have time to shop around so the butts were 8 and 7.6 lb. Injected at ~5 and rubbed down, left out to warm up. Started 20 coals at 9:15, and they burned to white quickly. Put on at ~9:30 filled pan with hot water, and added meat. (All temps in this post are lid temps) Took maybe an hour to get to 220. Cut to 50% all around. Wind was picking up and temp was creeping to 235. First cut windiest vent to 10% and then another one to 25%. By 11 temp seems stable at 220ish.
10-25-50 overnight
At 6:30 added some water and started basting every hour. Temp was 220 (and based on plenty of coals I don't think temp spiked overnight) and held 220 with every basting, no change in vents. By 9:30 was still at 220 and had coals.
Butts at 9:30
Left at 10 for a birthday party. Came back at 2 and grill was about 210 and meat was 182-189 depending on probe. Took both off and wrapped. Pulled at 5 or so.
