Around 6 pm

Are you planning to just slice or pull?

I don't think so but that's depending on cook temperature and the piece of meat.

Hmmmm , I’ve been following Heath riles on utube and he does them at 275 ,and wraps at 160 degrees to get through stall ...... guess I’ll put it on a little earlier just to be safe

Starting earlier on these cooks is your friend and if finished early you can always wrap in foil or butchers paper and put in warmed up cooler to rest and keep it warm for pulling.

That's about the time I start mine at that size at 225 and they go 13+- hours. You definitely want to finish early for a several hour rest. Even after the rest, it will still be steaming hot.

Let us know how it goes and if your 3am start time was enough time for your cook to be done and served at 6pm.
