I also use the 1.5 hours a pound rule but only as it applies to a larger piece of meat and to estimate when it reaches 180 degrees, not to estimate when it is done. Nest time aim a little higher and start with a larger piece of meat, maybe 7 pounds or so.- smokin_all_night

That is not a long smoke time for a Boston butt. As the smoke goes on the temperature increase of your meat slows down. Also the meat might go through a stall time where it does not increase in temperature for a while. During this time, the fibers are breaking down as the meat tenderizes. It...- smokin_all_night

Pulled Pork Failed smoke
I have had issues when too cold meat was placed in a 250degree or so smoker. The temperature had gotten a little away from me and was a little too hot. The meat developed a rind. although the meat was tender inside after 16 hours (that's what it took to reach 200F internal temperature) there was...- smokin_all_night

Pulled Pork Failed smoke
What was the temperature of your meat when you placed it in the smoker? At what temperature did you set your smoker? I ask because if your meat was too cold and your smoker too hot, then the meat may develop a "skin" that prevents smoke penetration. It's a good idea to not place just thawed meat...- smokin_all_night

Thanks, Wes for the suggestions. I would find it hard to believe that a fireplace can't keep up with the needs of this smoker that I built. It is so well insulated and takes so little coals to keep it up to temperature. See the first picture of my top post where the coals only cover 1/3 of the...- smokin_all_night

Yes, JJ that is the direction that I was heading. I was going to use a burn barrel temporarily and build a outdoor fireplace long term. However, local ordinances now prohibit that. However, I can still build a fireplace indoors with full blessing of the fire marshal and code enforcement. They...- smokin_all_night

Good suggestions, Dave, Jimmy J. and Tequilero. The suggestions seem to be detailed and involve burning wood carefully along with charcoal is one answer. Jimmy J seems to think a separate fireplace is a good answer. Shouldn't I go with my original plan and build the fireplace and burn Hickory...- smokin_all_night

I di in fact do that during the first smoke. However it was only two small split pieces of Hickory. Obviously that did not help much.- smokin_all_night
