I start by putting rub on my pork butts the morning I am going to cook. I get my smoker up to temp (225-250) range and I run water pans in my smoker. I feel them with a 50/50 fix of Apple juice and water. I put the meat on and smoke it for about 4 hours, then I wrap it in aluminum foil. I continue cooking til the meat hits 195 internal temp. I take it and let it rest in a cooler (hot box) for at least 1 hour, longer is better.
I cooked 32 pork butts last year for about 400 people and cooked again this year for about 350. All the meat came out nice and moist and tender.
I am not smart enough to attach pictures but have some of the cooking. Also did 72 racks of ribs for the same cook
