Dave,
It may be bad luck, bad technique, bad karma, or something else, but I've had so many butts of all sizes trend towards the 2 hours/lb that I do butts with caution. Two hours/lb for 10 lb'ers started at 8 would finish at 4. I know 20 hours seems crazy, and it looks crazy even writing it, but with my luck just as soon at I put them on at midnight 4 p.m. will come and I'll have plateaued pork.
I suppose I could start at midnight and finish on higher heat if I need to, but working on a schedule is never good for me! Still, your words give me room to think. Thanks!
