Happy Father's day to all. I smoked 2 - 9 lb Pork Butts for Fathers day today. I have done Pork Butts in the past and have averaged 1 - 1.5 hours per pound, but last night they went 7 .5 hours with NO STALL!
I got the smoker ready last night and put the butts on at 8 pm, smoking them around 275. The Maverick went off at 3:30 am with an I.T. of 190 on one and 185 on the other. I probed them both and they probed like butter. I double rapped them in foil and set the Maverick again for the other Pork Butt. 1 hour later the alarm went off, 1st Butt was 195 and 2nd was 190 I.T. I placed them in a cooler wrapped them in towels and put the Boudin on the smoker, set my alarm for 1 hour and went back to bed.
So now I am worried that I have to keep these butts warm for so long. The alarm went off again and I wrapped the Boudin in foil and place in the cooler with the butts and went back to bed. I woke up at 8am and butts were at 175. I placed them in the oven on 170 to hold them into lunch at 11:30. I unwrapped the butt and they were still HOT and juicy! The Pork Butts were a big hit as all ways. I was just worried because they did not stall and were ready earlier than expected. I wonder why some meats go through the stall and others do not? It makes it harder to plan cooking times, but I still managed.
I have a few pictures but no plate pictures as we were all eating yummy PP sandwiches.
