A Stall Question

I'm cooking a butt and when it reached the high 160's it hit the stall. My Maverick showed that the internal temperature of the meat dropped a few degrees as the stall started. I never noticed this before - I thought the internal temperature just - you know - stalled at a given temperature.
Did I dream this or has anyone else noticed a temperature drop?

not at all uncommon. Happens with brisket as well.

Not uncommon at all. I've seen a 7-8° loss. It where the fat and collagens are really starting to break down and actually cool the meat off just a bit (I think).-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini. Henderson, Ky.

Yes, I have seen the temp drop like that.
Here's some reading material while you wait.

I figured evaporative cooling would affect the outer parts of the meat. My probe was deep in the meat so I didn't think cooling would reach that deep. Live and learn. Thanks for the info.Two Large Eggs; Too Little TimeNewtown Square, PA

The absence of @SenecatheYounger (who would normally opine at length on subjects like this and he reads James Beard at bedtime) makes me wonder…………….@SGH?
