Pork Pain in My BUTT!!!

For clarification-you mention 225*F-if that is the dome (calibrated) then initially you are likely seeing around 200*F at cooking level-can take dang near forever to get there with that temp. Even if 225*F at the grid-I generally see around 2-2+hrs/# at that temp. You are well within range. Best finish indicator for bone-in butts is when the bone pulls clean. Generally in the 195-205*F range.
For the future-many run around 270 +/- on the dome for low&slows and search "Turbo butts" for how to get them finished in short-order. Lots of ways to get there-experiment and have fun.

I am a turbo fan. I did two 8 pounders in 6.5 hours. I really do a modified turbo. I do 250 dome until 160 int. Then i wrap and get it to 325. I cook until 200 or 205. I FTC for at least one hour.

225 temp is grate temp. I dont really pay attention to the dome temp on low and slows since I bought a fancy dual probe thermo from thermoworks. Glad I'm not far out of line. I ended up wrapping the bigger butt for the last hour. Maybe I'll try 250 grate straight through next time or do more research on turbo but for some reason I gravitate to old fashion low and slow

@EgginMisfit-I'm with you on the low&slow thus my lack of any real info in the turbo regard. The BGE is a most eggcellent way to throttle back on the pace of life-and also enhance the need for supervisory adult beverages.
BTW-if not previously mentioned-welcome aboard!

225 is over rated... I do low and slow at 275...Really no difference.Green egg, dead animal and alcohol. The "Boro".. TN

Thanks #lousubcap and I totally agree. The egg had givin me a way to slow the pace down and really relieve some day to day stress. I will try it around 275 next time #henapple thanks for the advice everyone. Here's a off the grill pic
