Butt temp chart

bdavidson

Does anyone recall seeing a post on butt cooking temps a while back? I'm interested in seeing a listing of the appropriate internal temps for a butt over the course of the cooking time from frig to pull. [p]As I type this I've got an 8.5 lb butt on the egg. Dome temp now is about 210, but I had some control troubles at the outset. For about the first hour of the cook, the dome temp was around 300-325. As a result, my meat temp, currently two and a half hours into the cook, is 100 degrees.... Does this seem appropriate?[p]Thanks for the help.

bdavidson:[p]Over the four hour period from when the butt war removed from the refrigerator, the internal should be at 140* to escape the "danger zone". Is that what you are asking?

bdavidson,
I have seen some charts but wouldn't know where to find them. Sounds like you are doin fine. Keep dome around 250 if you are doing in indirect. Get a good nights sleep. Should be plateauing when you wake up.

djm5x9,
Mot quite. At one point, someone had posted the temperature climb of their butt hour by hour through the cook to a goal temp of 200. I'm wondering if anyone has a copy of that chart.
5 hours into it now. Dome temp still 225 and meat temp 134.[p]I'm going to bed...
Night!

See...you know I've been up way too long when I misspell my name and enter my posts twice!

bdavidson,[p]I don't remember who posted the chart, but I log internal temp every hour or so when I do a butt. Usually they hit 140-150 in the first 4 hours or so. Sounds like you're perking along nicely.[p]Cathy
