Pork Butt To Fast

Posts: 147
So i bought a 9lb pork butt bone in and through it on the egg last night at 240 at midnight. Expecting 2 hrs a pound like normal. Well it's a little over 10 hrs and it's at 179. I'm pulling at 195, what should I do?

Let it continue!...I did a 8 lber a few weeks ago and it went 14 hrs....to 210 f
-
When do you need it to be done?
-
It is probably in the 'plateau' and could well remain there for 3-4 hours. Once exiting the plateau, it will jump up up to your target temp. in about 2-3 hours.
-
I normally do butts at 250° dome....so as long as you're dome therm is 'on' (calibrated), I can't see that it's cooking 'too fast'.
I don't think you have any problems...
Also, not sure if youve gone through the plateau stage yet (where temp can stay relatvely the same for a long time)...but the time from 179 to 195 could take some time yet.
I pull butts normally around 195....not sure youd want to go to 210. -
Thanks, I pull at 195. It looks like it hit it's plateau at 180 which through me off because I've normally seen at around 145-160. I need it done by 6ish so I dropped the dome to 212 for now and will ramp up when it gets closer

Yeah...pretty much think the plateau stage can fluctuate on where it comes into play.
I'd only say to keep an eye on it now with the 212 dome...most times I read that these lower (sub 250) temps can cause the Egg to sometimes fizzle-out.
It'll be great...that's the end result! -

it went out, fantastic!

Went out...as in your fire?
That's the problem with the lower ( -
Great advice given already.....if it's done before you're ready, double wrap it in foil, then a towel and put it in a cooler. It can keep for 3-4 hours no problem. Good luck!

I agree with azb.

Pork butt turned out great. If you haven't, buy sucklebusters bbq sauce asap.
