I tried a boston butt for pulled pork for the second time on my Chargriller kamado style kooker. Everything I have read says for a 6 pound butt at 300 indirect it should be about a 10 hour cook. I put it on this morning, 0600, 300 indicated on my dome gauge, with a mustard and rub coating. 6 hours later it was 195 internal so I pulled it off and foiled it into a cooler for 4 hours. Pulled it and it was beautiful, but I expected it to take much longer. I was able to sauce the pork and warm it for a 7pm dinner but why did it cook so fast????? The bark was so nice, the pork rendered and so tender but I need to know for the next time if this is normal or for some reason a very quick butt. Lump charcoal, indirect set up, never exceeded 300, spray with apple juice every 30 minutes. Any ideas???? I either need to adjust my cook times or reschedule dinner time. Thanks for the suggestions. Newby to pork butts on a kamado.
