    Pulled Pork Plateau

    I did not calibrate my thermometer before using it and not sure how to.  I think I will use another thermometer to see what it tells.  I put another heat thermometer inside the smoker cause I didn't trust the one in the door and it has been consistently at 225*.

    Pulled Pork Plateau

    Ok so this is my first Bone in Pork Butt.  It's 8.45lbs.  I put it on at 2:00am and it is now 4:50pm and I'm only at 170*.  I have read many threads about the plateau since I didn't wrap it but this seems a little excessive.  I think it's been here since about 10:00am.  Is something wrong? ...
