I'm making pulled pork for the first time today. I bought two butts that are just over 7 lbs each at Costco. I heated the smoker to 225 degrees and put both butts in the center racks of my MES at 5:00am this morning. The temp probe for the meat is in the lower butt. When I first put the meat in, the internal temp was 40 degrees. At almost 8:00am (3 hours) the internal temp is already 121 degrees. Is the temp going up too fast? Is this normal? Will the temperature increase slow down as the pork continues to cook?
Just want to make sure everything is progressing as it should. I don't want it to cook too quickly.
Thanks in advance,
Nick
