Pork butt for elk hunt

[smokingmymeat]

My buddy drew a black powder elk tag so I thought I'd smoke one up for camp.
This is about four hours in. What!! I can't see a way to post pics on my IPAD.
So, this didn't really happen? This was all a dream? I swear I could taste it.
Crap! So maybe you guys could help me with a problem. In my dream I started
this at 7:00am. At around 5:30pm I was at 198*. Looking good! At 2:00am it was
still at 198*. Needless to say it is a little to the dry side. Nothing a little sauce wont help. I did wrap at 167*. Why do you think it wouldn't go over 200*.? My only thought is the altitude.
We blame everything on the altitude. Any thoughts?



Happy smoking,
Big Al. :grilling_smilie:

Sounds good! As far as the stall, I'm guessing you moved the therm to probe it in another spot? I have no idea but if it were me and here, I'd blame it on the altitude as well!

To me, 195+ for an hour = done.

Once I hit 195 for an hour, two tops, it's done

Thanks guys. Sorry I didn't get back sooner. Yup, I moved the probe and also used a second one. Thanks for that anyhow cause ya never know. I was thinking I would pull it like
after a couple of hours of hitting a temp. that doesn't change like that. It helps to know
others are doing it that way.


Happy smoking,
