The last 3 times I have done butts it has been taking for ever. Saturday I pu ton 2 butts combined weight 18 pounds, one a little bigger than the other. Top rack 145 degrees temp almost whole cook, WSM hels temps perfect only had to gewt up once during the night, any way put on Satuday at 3:30 PM took meat temp got help at 145 for like 8 hours then finally went up got to 165 and held again. I finally took off smoker foiled and put in oven for about 1 hour at 300 degree. Butts turned out good but it sure seems to take me longer to cook them than some of the other guys on here. Checked probes are about 3 degree off. any suggestions?
