I had a great butt off my WSM yesterday but had a question on cooking temps. I typically run my WSM at 220-225F. I put an 8lb butt on Sat night at 9pm. I used a Stoker, so the temp was at the grill level and maintained throughout the smoke. I ended up increasing the pit temp to 250 then 275 in the early afternoon on Sunday as the meat was only at 175F.
What I normally end up doing is putting the butt into my oven at 325F for about 1-1.5 hrs to finish the final 20F of cooking.
What temperature in my WSM is used to actually get this thing done in the smoker itself?
My end product is awesome, so no complaints, but do others use a higher temp throughout the cook? Maybe 240 to 250F?
Thx
