    Exactly- I too was concerned with the quick rose when I started out with pork butt years ago and thought they would be done in half the time it should have been so lowered the temps.

    Then it hit the stall for several hours that really tenderized the hel l out of that hunk o meat

    You are right in track Eric :drool:

    Wheres the vortex when ya need it? Just came in to the ac to cool off for a few minutes.....Its freaking hot!!! :dennis:

    Its also a day that would be difficult to keep a low temp around 200 if needed. Heck 250 would be tough

    Foil a butt? Never really thought of that but similar to ribs I guess.

    Actually the tip I remember on smoking pork butt is

    Once you close the lid, do not open it for any reason until is done. Its like religion-you have to have faith that its ok in there

    that 3-2-1 rib thing was started by some wannabe that couldnt handle it.........dont get me wrong,it works but its cheatin......or if you failed math and miscalculated your cook time,you could foil to speed things up:headbang:

    the problem(i know its natural to most of us wanting to correct the temp) but its a big hunk of meat....it acts as its own heat sink....its not gonna bother it,but lowering the pit temp causes lag time ....then raisin it back up...more lag time.....every action has a reaction....but takes time.....chasin temps makes for a unruly cook....adjusting temp for a trout fillet yes....:yes:
