    pork butt ?

    Not familiar with your smoker, but if your only cooking them at an ACTUAL (grate level) 225F, you still got some time especially if your target IT is around 200.  The closer the IT comes to the cooking temp the longer it takes to even out and equalize. On the other hand though, it sounds like...
