I cooked a butt this weekend and yes the deg/hr is constantly changing.
At around 140 stall happened and the rate dropped to 3 deg/hr.
The pit temp was 225. After it hit 160, I calculated that it wouldn't be done on time so I increased the temp to 250 and then 300 for the last few hours. And it got to 200 just in time.
Next time I think I'll do the cook at 250 to shorten the time just a bit.
It would be a nice feature to have if you have a deadline.
