Started last night at around 8 pm with 4 butts at 235 all night in my 22"WSM. They were between 7-8 lbs each for a total trimmed weight of 29lbs.
I took my thermapen to all of them and the ones on the bottom were 185 and the ones on the bottom were struggling at 170? I moved all to the top rack and am about to wrap the two that were on top overnight and leave the others in the WSM for a while.
thinking of holding in the oven at 160 wrapped for a couple of hours for the ones approaching 190
thoughts? is that temperature difference normal (Its been a while since I did a big cook of Butts)
I'm just cooking for neighbors friends and the freezer so there is no time pressure just want them to turn out best.
How long would you hold them and then rest before pulling?
