Hey y'all,

Anyone ever have a butt stall this high (185 degrees)??? I've had plenty stall, but never this high. Been around 185 for about an hour and a half.

I'm figuring this is just like any other stall, it just caught me off guard being this late in the smoke. I'm 12 hours in on a 8 pounder.
 
It's been between 225 and 245 for most of the time since 10am. I've had it on my mes 40. However I was smoking a whole chicken on my SFB smoker at about 325-350 for a few hours and when I was done with that I took the butt outta the mes and put it on the SFB at about 300-320 for an hour or so.

Figured the higher heat for a short time might help the bark a bit.
 
My shear will is going to over come this stall no doubt! I'm already 12 hours in on a 8 pound butt!
 
At 185... Never. However those thing do have a mind of their own.  Your close to finish temp.  If it gets too suborn then toss it in the oven!  No shame in doing that brother.  b 
 
It started rising about 15-20 minutes ago. It's up to 190 now (12 1/2 hours in). That's about the time table I was figuring on. I raised the temp about an hour ago to 260ish. I don't want to use the Texas crutch and soften up the bark.
 
No I'm using a maverick 733 for both the butt and the internal smoker temp.
 
Pretty high for a stall.

Never know?  They each have a personal identity.

Good news is you must be right at the end of the stall.

Good luck and good smoking.
 
It's up to 196 now. Hopefully no more than an hour
 
Yeah I just hit 198 and was thinking of pulling it. I've smoked plenty of pork butts but besides the first one (when I didn't know my a$$ from my elbow) a decade ago I've never pulled one before it hit 200.
 
I figure I'll give it till midnight (another 45 minutes) and pull it then if it's still not 205. Then an hour or two wrapped and sitting and then the pull.
 
Alright I pulled the butt at midnight. It was at 201. It sat out for a few while I put away the smoker and all everything else, and then I wrapped it in foil, covered it in a towel, and it's sitting in the microwave as we speak.

Bout 1/4 after 1 it'll be wrapped for an hour. I'll take some pics and pull it then.

Thanks for everybody's help tonight.
 
Oh yeah it was about as stubborn as I've dealt with

Another pork butt done, and the latest stall I've ever had to deal with. Well worth it though. Excellent bark, and really moist. Can't go wrong! It's 2am so I'm gonna finish this samich, and down a few more cold ones before the sun comes up and my wife gives me that "you stayed up all night drinking again look".

It's Saturday so Drink em if ya got em!
