I read about what you are saying but didn't think my little BB(2.6 lbs) would take that long to get out of the plateau range.
I love this... I learn so much from every smoke I do. Hopefully I'll be able to remember all of my mistakes and avoid them in the future!
I picked it up from the local supermarket.
I read about the "plateau" but I never thought it would drop 4-5 degrees IT.
You're right. Next time I'm going with a 8+ lbs butt and doing it right! Thanks
So I was doing my first Boston butt pulled pork today. Here's what happened. This was a 2.6 lbs butt.
Preheated the smoker to 225
I stuck the roast in at 5:30
Both smoker t-stats read 220 and 230
Internal temp rose to 145 around 6:45
Both smoker t-stats read 220 and 230
Internal temp rose...
People keep saying to be "careful" and "watch your temps"... A little clarification would be nice. I'm a novice and hate ruining good meat. I'm learning from my mistakes but other than this forum, have no where else to go for advice or learning opportunities.
I was going to make one with my novice skills and then I started reading on the forum that you generally don't want to get under 6-7 lbs roast for pulled pork?
I really don't want to throw this piece of meat in the crock pot!
What do you think? Stick it in the smoker and hope for the best?
I've been reading the forum for about 3 months now. I've purchased an MES 30 with window and have had moderate success smoking.
Here's what I've done so far.
Ribs - first time turned out really tough. Will try the 221 method next time!
Fattie - turned out excellent!
Pork loin - bacon...
