You've got the pleatau goin' on... it'll rise again in a bit. Just drink some more and tell somemore lies. This happens a lot on Pork Butts and Briskets.
I don't know the 'scientific' explantion for it, but undoubtedley someone with that info. will show up.
I put it off to God; God likes us to use his creatures for food and cooking it like we do is his favorite(ie-burnt offerings to Him). Now it was unsaid, but I know some Jewish Women and if you went to throw a piece of meat away, well let's just say it didn't go to waste.
And , God gave us the skill to brew Beer, so that's why when you are "Queing" something and it pleataus, sit back and thank God for the time.
Be good and
SMOKE HAPPY
