run the temp up to 225 - 235 . You'll be fine.

First of all Welcome to the forum

My second question is 200 what?  Internal temp or Smoker temp?

Then like Eman said.  As a matter of fact the later the day gets and the closer you get to wanting to finish up you may want to kick it up to 260 - 265.  I normaly wait until it gets out of the stall to go to 260

200 is low, if anything the number one thing ive learned in my short smoking career is that you can get just as good results with higher temps.  I run butts at 250-275 till probe tender (usually around 195 internal) and let them rest foiled in a cooler for at least a couple hours before pulling.
