Posts: 108
I am doing a boston butt for my NCAA party tonignt, kinda getting worried. I put the 5.5lb butt on at 5AM with charwood to top of firering. right now it is 10:20 the meat temp is 158, egg temp is 275 - when if at all do i need to replenish the charwood? i kinda thought that when i see the temp drop to 250 i would put some charwood in my chimmey and fire that up - then dump in the egg once smoke clears - Thoughts PLEASE
OH party starts at 5:30

What size egg?
Other than a maybe a small or mini, you shouldn't need to replenish the lump. You should have enough in there to go to the finish. -
If you filled your fire box you shouldn't have to add any more fuel. -RP

Like the others have said if you loaded enough lump you should not have to add anymore. It will probably take 11+- hours to get done. You can always bump the temp to 300 to get it done a little faster.
At 158 degrees the pork is hitting its plateau and will stay in that range for a while.
Good luck and be patient the pulled pork will be delicious... -
definatly bump the heat up if its not close by 2,you can wrap it in foil and even bring it up hotter.fukahwee maineyou can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it
-
You shouldn't need to add any more lump. Make sure you leave enough time for it to rest in foil for about a half hour after pulling. Then some cool down time so you can pull it.
Sounds like some hoop fans are gonna get some GOOD eats! -
Don't panic!!!!!!!
-
Sounds like you will be ok. You should have plenty of lump. Sounds like your internal meat temp is going to level off for a while. I you get too worried about time you can foil and push dome temp to 300 or a little more.
