pork butt pleteau

mfox2064

I've had an 11.5lb (yes, its the biggest i've seen) pork butt on the egg for 19.5 hrs at 230ish dome temp. The therm in the piggy is reading about 170. I usually pull it a bit higher, but this one has been on FOREVER and i'm out of fuel... suggestions ?

BTW - the bark looks perfect.

wrap it up in hdtf and put in oven, depends on when you want to eat as to what temperature

Wrap it in foil and stick it a 250* oven. Pull it at 200* and you will be fine.

I have 2 on right now that have gone for 20 hours and still aren't ready. My plan is that if I run out of fuel, I'll pull them quickly and add charcoal so that they can get to 200.

I've used a lot more fuel than normal, I'm guessing since it was around 27 degrees last night.

At this point, it should have a pretty good flavor. Finish it in the oven. Place on a rack in a pan, set the oven to 250. Consider basting a little to avoid drying out, or place a pie pan w. water on another rack.

Or, be a purist. Tuck the butt into the oven until you can refuel the Egg. Bump the dome up to 300. An 11.5 pounder could go 23 hours at a dome of 250.
