I am 7 hours in to smoking 2 9lb butts.
Internal temp is currently 140, need these by 2 this afternoon. Am I going to make it?
Should I increase cooking temp?
 
What is the temp?

250 - 275 will move them right along without drying them out.

Are you sure that your thermometer is accurate?
 
I always put butts in pans and cover. I also add some vinegar and apple juice when I cover them. You could bump to 300 when you cover.
 
I would bump to 275F
If it gets done early, shred it and let it sit. I think it is like chili and tastes better with a little "age" on it.

I just looked at my smoking records and a 7 pound butt at 275F took me 10.5 hours...
