BOSTON BUTTS COOKING TOO FAST?

jdown28 · May 2017

I am smoking 2-5lb butts, they've been on right at 2 hours with a constant temp of 225 based on my diqiq, dome temp is showing a little lower more about 220. After only two hours the meat temp has gone from 53 degrees to 131. Does this seem like normal, or is it coming up way too quick?

That's pretty typical

You're good

Ok thanks. I guess the hardest part is leaving it alone and letting the BGE do it thing. I appreciate the feedback.

Seems right, my 9# did that then hit the stall at 151 for a few hours. Im at 225 as well btw.

At that grate/dome temp you may well be in for a long stall later. Won't feel too fast then.

Sounds like you are right on target. They will hit a little stall around 160 or so and slow down a little. This cook should take about 7 1/2 to 8 hrs if you pull @200 IT. I just put 2- 10lb butts on at 8:30 am. Have fun!
