No stall Boston butt

Recommended Posts

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.

Probe wasn’t touching the bone or not in the center of the butt maybe? 

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.
