Will try to cook between 225 and 250. How long of a rest period I should I give it? Where to put it when it's resting?

You can smoke at 225 or 250 or anywheres in between. What's more important is that the temperature does not fluctuate.

As for the rest, wrap it in foil or butchers paper, then wrap that in an old bath/beach towel for 30 minutes.
