Howdy all,
I've had a boston butt on my mini WSM since about 2:30AM with temps ranging from 220-280, average of probably 260 (this cooker is usually rock solid, but it has been temperamental today with rain showers on and off).
At 6:30AM the meat probe on my Maverick 732 read 158, by about 7AM it had dropped to 156, and now at 12:30PM it's down to 154.
Could it really be "the stall" for 6.5 hours and losing temperature? I'm not even sure the meat is safe to eat hovering at 155ish for 6 hours.
Or maybe I should suspect my temp probe that seemed to be working fine for the first 3-4 hours of the cook?
