New Years Butt

Mark0525

Hi guys haven't been on for awhile because I moved and didn't set the egg up for awhile.
I'm cooking a butt and the temp has been about 300 or so for hours.  I'm not sure if it's my egg thermometer or my maverick.  I forgot to calibrate the eggs. Temp on egg has been 300 plus, maverick has been about 250 constant.  Meat has plateaued for awhile at  165 which I know it gets to that point for hours. I've done numerous butts but never had an issue with my temp. Vents are nearly shut.  If I go of the egg is there any suggestions how to lower the temp without putting it out.  Thanks and Happy New Year!!!

Not sure what you are asking here. Sounds like you are at a perfect temp. If you want to lower the temp close the bottom vent a bit. I say let it ride at the 300° it’s currently at. Nothing wrong with 300.

You can pull the BGE thermo right now and give it a boiling water test.  Eliminate the guesswork if you can.  FWIW-
