When to kick up butt temp

BHFG
Posts: 17
Cooking an 8 1/2 pound butt. Put it on 16 hours ago, been at 250 with BBQGuru all night and meat now at about 185.
Question is, at what point do I decide to kick the dome temp up to 350+ and finish out the meat to 200?
Tnx,
Rick

Are you in a hurry to eat it?If not,let it go at 250.If you are,bump it up to 300 now

Let it ride. Perfection is coming your way soon enough. Pull it off at 195, and let it rest in foil for 1-2 hours before chopping/pulling, but that is just me.....
