7 lb pork butt, trim the fat, rub a bunch of seasoning and let it sit over nite. Get temp up to 120, smoke with a few hickory chunks for 4 or 5 hrs, after 6 hrs stick a meat thermometer into it, kick that temp to 200 and grab a 6 pack while you wait 3+ hrs til she's done. Post pics, then shred and break out the Texas Pete and any other sauces and sides.
No disrespect this is bad advice all the way around.
Don’t trim the fat. Don’t smoke at less than 235 degrees. Don’t get something smaller than 12 lbs. No Texas Pete. Don’t dry brine, wet brine for a couple days.
Apart from how you brine, the advice given by @ticket2ride04 will ensure you at least don't poison someone.

As the doctors say, first do no harm. Pork is unclean. If you can't abide kosher habits, at least cook the pork. We don't want trichinosis
People who don't eat bacon are untrustworthy and are more likely to harm other people. They should be avoided.
Sounds like @coolwaterunc 's mission statement.
I meant 220, not 120, sorry for the brainfart typos. Cooking pork at 120 would take a week.
I like 7 pounds since I can start it in the AM and eat it for dinner. 12 pounds would starting at midnite the nite prior for me.
Get some heat resistant grilling gloves - those damn coals can get hot AF!
