The stall is a strange thing. Sometimes you get almost no stall. Other times it seems to stall for hours in the 180-185 range. My WSM was a solid 225* the entire smoke on a BBQ Guru DigiQ-2, and after nearly 19 hours on the charcoals they "should" have been done. The stall is best accepted for what it is, and as my old boss used to say "it is, what it is"...
