Halloween pork butt

[sladewilson]

My Halloween pork butt 3.5 hours in. Put it in at 7am this morning. It is about 9.5 lbs. my stick burner has been hovering around 275-300 degrees. Anyone have an idea of about how long this cook will take? Party starts at 6.

If you're wrapping/panning, you should be close to your desired time frame.
If not just feed the fire.
And hopefully have time for a rest.
The longer the better.

I agree with Keith, but it could be close.

7.5 hours in and internal temp is at 165. It was sitting at that temp for at least an hour. I wrapped in foil at this point. I’ll check temp again in a couple of hours. Hopefully, by 5pm it will be done so I can rest for an hour or so until everyone is ready to eat.

It should start to climb pretty soon .
If not , give yourself an hour or so before you want to serve and go into a 350 degree oven .
Leave a therm inserted if you do that .

Edit : I know guys like to rest pork . I never do . My opinion is it doesn't need it like beef does .
So if you're tight on time I don't think it will effect anything .
