7 Lb boston Pork Butt Test

danny285

I am preparing a 7lb pork butt to cook, i will cook it at 225 for 12 to 14 hrs per all the BGE cooks that think i am crazy to say that it would normally take me about 5 to 6 hrs to cook this 7 lbder. will be using the DigiQ2 to do the cook, will set the internal temp high enough that it will be for monitoring purposes only. wife says that i will cremate it but i am doing this just to see what will happen to a butt that stays on the BGE that long. may put it on tonite but am planning on about 5 or 6 am sun. wish me luck i got a 15lb bone in pork loin that i had sliced into 1.5 in pork chops for dinner sun.

this is results of 12 hrs at 225 dome, 215 internal for several hrs. looks cremated to me and is very hard.

Thanks everyone for all the info and support. This cook was a total waste of time and money but i have satisfied myself that it dont take this long to cook a butt, next time i will go back to my old way of cooking pork butts.

That's weird. I wish mine would cook that fast. I read your older posts about it and figured something was wrong. I guess it is just a problem with the space time continuum in your egg. Try checking the flux capacitor, then try again.
