Started at 4. Won't finish till late tonight. Really just testing it out and tweak some things before I do it for people.
Went with the Franklin BBQ method but changed the spice rub a tad bit

Kept his ratios for the most part. Added cayenne and mustard powder about half of what I did for onion, garlic, and pepper.
Spritzing with apple juice. Trying to stay around 250-275 with charcoal and hickory wood

Would love to see pics of the butt and how it turned out last night.
Here is link to mine I did on my WSM a few weeks ago. I used Franklin Method as well and it was awesome!

Couple questions:
To fill the water bowl or just foil? I know it will get hotter quicker but is this just a personal preference?
Foil the meat and put it back on the smoker? Is this necessary or did you just want to speed up the process?

Finished the pork butts around 12 last night. They came out incredible. Pulled amazing, smoke ring was good and bark was money.
Wrapped them after about 4 1/2-5. Spritzed with apple juice and made a BBQ sauce for after.

Why'd ya wrap them? Just curious, I'm fairly new to smoking stuff.

Followed the Franklin BBQ method. He did it and it keeps the moisture in. Probably safer this way so it doesn't dry out. After doing it though I won't change anything. It was perfectly juicy

Agree to all that............foiling them also protects them from the "smoke".....................when I was a rookie once I added too much wood and my brisket tasted like a tree.
Foiling will speed up the cooking process a little bit as well.

Yeah I was worried about too much smoke as well. Foiling worked out great

Did you take any pics More Beer?? Glad it turned out well....when I did mine, my wife was amazed at how good it was.
Posted on 5/1/13 at 12:06 pm to Kingwood Tiger
Yeah they are on my gf's phone. Should be able to put them up this afternoon
Posted on 5/1/13 at 12:10 pm to More beer please
So it looks like you foiled them like 3/4 the way through the cook? I guess I need to look up the Franklin method before I do my first cook 
. Do yall foil everything on the smoker?

Yeah it's a little over halfway. Only kept them on there for 8 hours. Double wrapped each butt with good spritz of apple juice

Glad to hear your smoke turned out OK.
Here's a place you can spend some time and learn all about smoking meat. LINK
