First pork butt

[cszmachinist]

Been rubbed down 24 hrs. Going in smoker at 9pm at 225. Hoping it will be done by 11 am tomorrow. Going to foil it at 165. Looks good enough to eat now.

7.5 hrs to get to 165* wrapped and put back in. Turned heat up to 250. I thought I would have hit my foil mark by 2 am. Is this a normal amount of time to reach 165 ? Have I already went through the "stall" ?

It's going to take longer when cooked at 225. Wrapping it in foil helps it get through the stall quicker.

Thanks for the info. I have read so much about these butts but still was a little worried. Lol. All is good. I am sitting at 191 right now. Was shooting for 11 am (14hrs)

You can re wrap it in foil then a towel & put it in a cooler,if it finishes to early

My charbroil goes into cool down mode (120) after it reaches set temp. Is it ok to leave it in there wrapped ?

Lol. Absolutely. I want to unwrap it and do the bone pull but hesitant to open it

It was awesome Al. Finished it off with a semi JJ finishing sauce that most people didn't even use bbq sauce. Pretty proud of that. Also smoked some portabellos stuffed with salmon and a pan of bbq beans
