Welcome VA Gentleman. It would be EXTREMELY unusual for a 10 pound Butt to cook in 8 hours at 200 degrees! And, you Mopped 3 times? Are you measuring the cabinet temp with a Tested Accurate Thermometer? I been Roasting and Smoking Butts over 40 years, and the ONLY time I got a 10 pound Butt done in 8 hours, was Roasting at 400°F. Even at an MES max temp of 275 and No Mopping or Opening the Door, it should have taken, at least, 10 to 12 hours.
I Believe you, as Butts can do some strange things, but your result is either an anomaly or there is something way off...JJ
