One suggestion, Eric, is to skip the 24 hours in the fridge with the rub. Saves prep time. I rub right after rinsing the brine, and straight in the smoker. After brining, the rub really doesn't penetrate that much anyways, and is really just for surface flavor and bark. It soaks in as it cooks, so you can save a day of prep time. No problem doing what you're doing, but if you're ever pressed for time, and want to prep in one night, I suspect you won't see much difference in the final results.
