Pork butt

I just got a smoker last weekend and I'm planning on doing a pork butt tomorrow. It's about 8lbs. I want it to be ready to serve around game time tomorrow evening. How many hours do you guys think it needs to be on the smoker?

8 hours at 250. 10 hours at 225.
ETA The board agrees that pulled pork needs to be cooked to 190-205 internal temp. For me it's 195. After it hits your desired temperature, wrap it in foil or a towel and let it rest for at least an hour.

I'd plan for 12 hours (including resting in the cooler). If it finishes early just leave it in the cooler until you're ready to serve.

pretty sure it depends on how you plan on serving it. Pulled pork takes longer.

Good point, definitely doing pulled pork.

If its your first time using the smoker I would plan on a 12 hour window from time you first touch the smoker in the morning till game time. It could (will) take longer than you think to get the smoker started or up to temp since it the first time. I've pulled pork butts that were wrapped in an ice chest for over 4 hours and they've still been really warm so if you finish early no big deal.
As for time on the smoker, plan on 8-10 hours.

Err on leaving yourself too much time (12hrs or more). Take it off once it hits 200 or thereabouts, wrap in foil then towels and place in a cooler. It will stay warm for hours. Pull right before serving

One other thing to consider is no two butts cook the same. I've had a 9 pounder be ready before a 8 pounder before but as mentioned earlier 195deg is when I pull them as well.
I'd also like to add that cooking at 225deg it is 1.5 hours per pound so it might take 12 hours or it could go longer or shorter :)
