PP stall?

[madeinusa]

Hey all, this is my firs real post/q-view. I already posted at the new memmbers thread.

I guess ill explain my problem first. I put 2 7.5 ish lb of bone in butts in the preheated brady around 6:30 this morning. Got home around 11:30 or so(begged my boss for a half a day a month earlier). First thing i did was probe the meat with maverick 733, the dprayed it every 45 min or so with half apple cider vinegar and half apple juice. I was about 9 hours in on smoking at 220-235. Then my first butt wouldnt go above 152, then tge second shortly after. Is this right? Seems a little early for the stall. Thanks in advance for any help or guidence. -Keith

I've had butts stall as low as the high 130s.  152 isn't unusual at all.

I don't know why there is so much variation in stall temps on butts, must have something to do with the relative humidity or something. I just don't know, but it never happens to me at the same temp.

Is it OK to use armadillo rub on pork?

MIU, Your PP is looking good, remember everytime you open the door you prolong your finish time/temp .

I think the stall difference is because their on different levels.  JMO.
