Butt holding at 190

I have a 7.5# butt on for 18.5 hours and have been holding at 190 for the last hour or more. Should I pull off and wrap in foil and wait or leave it on and see if I can get it to 200. GBE steady a 220 to 230. I have more time to wait.... What to do?

    ArchEGG,[p]Take it to 195. If you get in a hurry wrap it in foil and it will jump pretty quick.[p]You can safely bump your temp up to 250-275 also. If not in a hurry, just let it go until 195-200.

    Fidel,
    Mine's at 187, and I'm getting hungry! Eating a salad right now so I can gorge on pulled pork later.

    ArchEGG,[p]If it feels like the meat temp is 'stuck' that is what you want. It takes some time to get through this stage.[p]I have read that if you want to bump the temp to get past the 'plateau' you can. I let it cook through this stage.[p]You guys are almost there.[p]Make sure you let this rest a little before eating.[p]yum, kent

    ArchEGG,[p]Tent it if the color is getting darker than you want. Wrap it to speed up the finish if you need to.
    Or just let it cruise on it's own.[p]~thirdeye~

    Happy Trails
