Hopefully it will still turn out OK. I smoked 5 butts (40 lbs) for a mission trip fund raiser for our church. They will be serving it today at 4:00. Anticipating it would take a little over 1 1/2 hours per pound I put them on last night at 6:30 thinking they would be done about noon. I would then wrap them and put them in a cooler for a few hours. My wireless thermometer woke me at 5:30 AM. One by one I put a different thermometer in each and 4 out of the 5 were in the mid 190's. They will be coolered for 7 hours. I hope that isn't too long to sit in a cooler. The 5th butt (the largest) is still on and seems to have plateaued at 178. Does that seem a little high for a plateau?
Here are a couple of pictures.
