danny285

Today's cook, two boston pork butts one 7lbs and one 8lbs, on at 8am shuld both be ready for dinner at 4pm at latest.

You think those will be done and ready to pull in 8 hours?

Are you cooking them at a high temp?

Chris in Gwinnett

Feels like a tall order. I put on a 6 lb'er on at 5am with the hopes that it would be done by 5pm, pulled and ready to eat at 7.

Happy 4th.

Gonna hafta put 'em on at 300 or better for a 1 hr/lb cook. Those should have have been started 12 hours sooner.

Danny have you been drinking FlaPooman's Bloody Mary's this morning?
There's no way those can possibly be done by 4pm, maybe you meant 4am.
You're joking...right??

Danny you are kidding aren't you. If you get those done in 8hrs I want to know the secret. 8 pounders go app rox. 18hrs for me @240 dome. good luck.

Better go @ 300 dome. Not really sure even with that. Just where I would start. Good luck.

I know you guys dont believe me but i have never gone over 1 hr per lb. i cook at 250 dome until 200 internal with a DigiQII, internal temp is up to 194 at this time

danny285

temp is now 200 in 4 hrs

Aunt Crazy

I put on three 4.5 pounders at 9am and just pulled them at 180--cooked at 250 the entire time...

Finished in approx 5 hrs

Something's weird here. Next time you do a cook with your DQII, can you cross-check your dome probe with another thermo?

i have allready rechecked everything in boiling water, all is well here, i guess i am just getting very lean meat. i have cooked at least 20 of the butts and none of them went over an hr and lately they are going about 3/4 hr per lb. oh well least it dont take long to cook them,

it sure was good, family ate it up and is gone now.
