First Bad Butt

Very strange but I did a butt last weekend using my normal technique and it resulted in less than ideal taste.  My wife and I clearly tasted a "chemical" taste but the kids said, "it's the best ever".   I just let the lump burn for an hour, Egg was at a solid 225,  then added some pecan wood chunks and then the butt.   Cook was at 225 as I wanted to pull it off late then next afternoon.   Just an anomaly I guess as I pretty much did everything exactly has normal and this was the first.   Just to be safe, I'm going to wait 20 minutes or so after adding the pecan before adding the butt tomorrow night and smoke at 250 instead of 225.  In addition, I'm using a new bag of lump.  Shame too as it was a beautiful butt before and after the cook.   Any thoughts?
