jeffshoaf Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 Ever had a butt not have a stall during a low and slow smoke? I had to get out of bed at 4:30 am to take this 8+ lb. butt off the KK since it didn't take the 12± hours to get to pulling temperature like i expected. I did let the KK preheat to 250* F instead of the target 225 while i was grilling a big t-bone on the Weber kettle but i would have expected at least a 300* temp to get the butt done in just 8.5 hours.

Poochie Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 Probe wasn’t touching the bone or not in the center of the butt maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope -- i actually had two probes in and was careful to not hit the bone with both. They both show the same curve within 1 degree. I normally verify with a thermopen but I'm not at my best at 4:30 am and didn't think of it. It certainly looked and felt like it was at pulling temp and the bone slid right out after the 7 hour rest. I had to be careful taking it off the KK to keep it from coming apart.
