Been looking here a while. Purchased the 30" MES (Lowes version) at the beginning of last November. Ribs are freakishly good and the whole turkey, forget about it. Doing my first butt now and I am in the dreaded stall. It's been on for 12 hours and I want to eat this thing like now. I know, patience. It'll be worth it. Tick... Tock...
Long time listner, first time caller...6'-2" & 275... Ding.

What is your cook temp? And, have you wrapped the butt? It sounds like a long time to me. If you are at the once-magic 225*, and tour IT is at least 150*, I would wrap it in foil and try to get the heat up to 250-275*. But, then I'm not an electric guy and you could probably get some better advice from someone who is.
Good luck, Joe.
Good luck, Joe.
I started at 230° and started to increase after my post gradually until I got to 194° IT. I didn't wrap at all. It was 15 hours for a 8.5# butt. It was a tad dry but great texture and taste. It was my first one and I plan on doing some different things in the future. Thanks.
