per my earlier thread, I started a 10.5 picnic yesterday at 4PM. Had to be away from it quite a bit, but it appears it was running between 200-250 most of the cook (there's a gap between 6:30PM when it was 245 and 1:30AM when it was 190, and another between 2AM at 180 and 7AM at 266 in which I'm not sure where it was, but close enough for me).
Question is the probe has the meat only climbing from 177 at 7AM and 180 now at 10AM.
I know it is ready when it is ready, and I've read about plateaus (although I thought they occured at around 165 most times), so is there any reason to be concerned about drying out the picnic while I wait for around 195-200?
Thanks
