Turbo butts happen, but turbo fatties too???

I think we've all experienced a turbo butt that finishes in record time, but tonight I've had a fatty on for just one hour at 250 and the internal is already 141. When prepping it I did slice it open in quarters though and inserted strips of hot pepper cheese so I'm wondering if the probe is in a vein of hot melted cheese. Guess I better plan to check with ye' ole Thermapen, but I'm far off the mark of 3 hours to get to 170!

    guess I'm just talking to myself here, but that fatty is now up to 155 internal at 1 hr 25 minutes and the Thermapen has confirmed the temp in 4 spots. Oh well...

    RRP,[p]One thing you have to remember when you stuff something like a fatty is that you are adding moisture...and that conducts heat....[p]So it is possible that it will be done faster...[p]I do my fatties and quarter them and add peppers...and they do get done a lot faster...
