Those are the vitals....[p]8 pound butt cooking at 250 for 23 hours now and probe says 160 internal. Guests arrive in 1.5 hours, what am I missing?

stuart,
You are probably ok. Some butt or pieces of meat go into a plateu and stay longer then others. Once it starts to rise again, it usually doesn't take long. Sometimes less than an hour. If you want pulled pork, you will have to let it get to 195. If you take it off ealier, you will have slice pork. [p]Jerry

stuart,
Wrap it in foil right now and put it back on. It should get there, but someting isn't right. One of your temp gauges is reading wrong.

stuart,[p]What are you missing? Dinner.

stuart, pick up an oven thermometer to place directly on the rack as dome temp does not always equal rack temp.
