Posts: 8
Hey guys..quick question. I have had a pork butt on since 8:45 this morning so going on 7 1/2 hrs...my temp is still sitting at 95 degrees...is this normal? I thought by now the temp would be up quite a bit higher than that. Sorry if it seems like a stupid questions...1st butt I have done

that ain't right. What is your pit temp? are you sure your thermos are calibrated? And how much does your butt weigh....(that is a very strange question from a stranger but just go with it)Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

Im an idiot and was reading the thermo on celsius...guess I need to quit paying attention to the football game and more on the food!

Agree. That seems impossible if there is any kind of fire at all in your Egg.XL,L,SWinston-Salem, NC

What temp should I pull...some spots are 200 and the middle is around 185

if it's a bone in butt, pull when the bone wiggles freely. If it's boneless, when it's probe tender all over. 195-205 is the most traditional temp range for that to occurKeepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

Thanks guys...appreciate the info!!
-
Besides pulling at a certain temperature, you can also go by feel. A temp probe should slide in and out with ease, or as some say, like a knife through hot butter. Each butt may be ready at different temperatures, but it'll normally be around 195-205.

I would be very concerned about the safety of a piece of meat that was 95 degrees for who knows how long. I hope everything turns out ok.

Dont feel bad. The same thing happened to me. My daughter was playing with my thermometer right before I used mine when I was cooking my first boston butt and switched the display form Farenheit to Celsius.

Most of the connective tissue is broken down at 195 and will fall apart easily.Simple ingredients, amazing results!
