I'm on my second smoke with my master forge, this time a 4lb boston butt bone in. Everything i've read typically says 1.5-2 hrs per pound at 225. I started at 8 am so its now been on for 9.5hrs and the IT is still only 147 It's been stalled at around 145 for almost 4hrs now.My smoker temp has maintained 225-240 the entire time and i'm using a maverick et-732 so i'm pretty sure my temps are accurate. Any ideas on why it's taking so long? My first smoke was a 2.5lb boston butt and took about 7hrs. Is the 2hrs/lb time estimate for foiling at the stall?
The butt looks and smells delicous, it just might have to be lunch tomorrow now.
Also, any tips to keep a propane tank warm when its cold out, the high today was around 28.
