Put on my 8lb pork butt at 7:30am this morning. I have been running the Kamado Joe at 275 the entire time. I surely thought from everything I've read this size piece of meat would be done by now. I'm now having to cancel having my guests come over because this meat isn't getting done in time for dinner. What's bizarre is half of the meat is pretty much done. Probe tender and close to the final temp it needs to be at. The half closest to the bone still feels stiff and is only at 180 and has been holding there forever and hasn't moved. I kicked up the KJ to 300 to try and get it going faster but it just isn't budging. Am I hitting some kind of late stall? Why is one end getting done and not the other? What do I do?
