I have cooked 2 pork butts 2 times now and have not reached a stall. different butchers,different size butt. 1st run bone in, second run bone out.
I am mostly using the method described by Myron Mixon in his book. rub,sit over night, inject, rest for a hour, pork butt in a foil pan goes into the smoker at 250ish(mostly 260 today). i smoke it 4 hrs or so. take it out, place butt in new foil pan,add 1 cup Apple Juice,cover in foil. back in smoker. i take it out at 200-205 IT.
i trimmed the fat off 2nd run, cooked the other fat side down.
i'm not sure if it's a fluke? does the injection help keep a steady rise? the temp? maybe it's the overall process? Myron doesn't mention a stall. makes me think it might just be technique based?
i guess after 20 or 30 butts I will know more but i see lots of stall talk but have not reached it. maybe i will try Jeff's method in his book next time. see if i stall or not.
