Hot and Not So Fast Butts

[jzadski]

Started them at 10 am running 300°. At 3:30 wrapped at 165°. At 5 around 190 so bumped to 350°. Bones finally loose at 7:00pm. Family almost revolted to order pizza. All worked out though and enjoyed thoroughly.

They look killer Joe!

Either those were the worlds most stubborn butts, or your GF charcoal smoker is not very effiecient, or wrong on temps.


They look great though.

About right for me with "low and slow" butts. Not sure about wrapping though as mine always come out moist and juicy. You might want to confirm your smoker temps though and make sure they are spot on as my lid thermometer is 50 degrees high on my little WSM so, that would really stretch things out if I smoked at only 225. Not sure how long a smoke at 225 would take ... :shock:

Yup, I thought about pulling the Maverick out to double check the temp was feeling lazy though :wink: I will for sure on the next cook. Thanks all

"Start earlier and hold"- that and "it's done when it's done" are some of the best pieces of advice I've gotten on this site. They go together like pb&j or young&stupid.

Yeah. My motto is start 4 hours earlier than you think you need to. I really hate wondering if it will be done in time to eat. Kind of ruins the fun of the cook for me. It's not supposed to be stressful.

Looks good! Sorry you had to endure the "hurry up and get done" cook. That can definitely suck out the joy but you got a free cooking lesson out of it for next time.
