Hi,
Finally the weather is warm enough for outside cooking, so I had decided to do some pulled pork yesterday. Got hold of a (roughly) 5 lbs butt which I dry brined overnight and then applied some oil and rub to marinade for a second night as well.
It took 17 1/2 hours to get the butt up to 203 deg internal temp, at 225 deg in the smoker. Lost patience and pushed the wsm to 260-270 the last hour I was under the inpression that normal time is somewhere around 8-12 hours. What the xxxx happened? Or maybe I should ask what did not happen?
(I used a maverick, and checked both probes in boiling water before I started smoking. After about 13 hours I got worried and double checked the internal temp with a thermapen, it showed 180 deg, the same as the maverick.)
Is this really within the normal time frame? Any feedback is appreciated!
