Salt heavily the day before. Take out of fridge apply pepper and garlic powder generously. Let it sit out out and warm up to room temp. Smoke with a water pan at 225-250 for as long as it takes to get at least 200 deg. It takes longer than you want it to, especially when it stalls at 165. Patience. Foil wrap is cheating! I'd trim a lot of the extra fat off.
