Yesterday morning I injected and rubbed two nice butts that totaled just about seventeen pounds. If I'm going to be smoking one butt I'd just as well throw another one on because it' doesn't take that much longer . In the Keg they went for what I knew would be a long day of smoking but these butts were some of the most difficult I've done in a long time. It was late when they were finally done so I pulled them this morning.

Well, for being the most difficult to get up to temp they sure turned out to be some of the best.



Some of the most tender, moist and tasty pork buts I've done to date.



They both have excellent smoke flavor.

Looks great! I almost fired up the smoker yesterday and put a small one on just because. But ended up deciding not to.
Good work

What temp did you get do your meat? On mine yesterday, I went to 185 and I wanted more tenderness.

Go to at least 193. I usually pull around 194-195. At 185 you haven't melted all the connective tissue yet.

I let these get up to 197*.
I don't know if the humid damp air had anything to do with the stall taking so long to get through but it took a good 14 hours for these to get there.

I smoked two on thursday and one stalled forever. The first had already been fully eaten by the time the second came off.

I hear if you microwave your butt first, you can avoid the "stall".
