Goin on 11 hrs here. This aint worth it for only ~3 lbs of meat. Next pork butt smoke will be fully loaded.
Any tips on watchin the temps of multiple giants pieces of meat? These things seem to cook how they damn well please. I only have the one Maverick therm.

I think I'll test my maverick today. I would prefer the problem to be operator error but we'll see. I was expecting a 9-10 hr smoke at worst! Tasted damn good though.

I have had a five pounder take 16 hours not too long ago. It happens. Way to go not rushing it through by cranking up the temp and such.
Thanks, Ive read enough posts where ppl said they tried that or pulled it and it was tough. About 12 hrs in I just decided Id come this far so might as well wait it out. It did take a decent amount of arguing in my head to not do something to try to rush it! Temp bumped up a bit after I added charcoal but it was mostly smoked ~230* from 10am-4am. Quite the adventure.

I am convinced this is why there are multiple racks in smokers. Plan B on other rack. haha... I always do some ABT's or sausages or something because of murphy's law. If you have all the time in the world and actually plan for a 20 something hour cook it will be done in 8. That's my luck anyway.
Sounds about right. I'll have a plan B for next butt smoke + more butts to make the time invested worth it. 15 hr lesson learned.
