Birthday Smoke w/Q-View

[smoking in ft. collins]

160 for the butt and 163 for the brisket. Guests arrive in 1 hour for a dinner that was scheduled to be served in 2 hours. Pizza anyone?

I have never had a 4+ hour stall. I thought starting at 5:30 AM would have been plenty of time.

I would take them out... wrap them in foil and put them in the oven on 325 - 350. Bet it would be close. I've finished off many butts this way when time is running short. I've started giving myself 12 hours to smoke butt or brisket and I give myself another 4 hours just in case. Easier to keep it hot than to get it smoked on a deadline.

Looks like I will get 60-90 minutes in the cooler. Better than nothing!

Good Luck. You could always order BBQ Pizza. LOL

Well it turned out great!

I left it in the cooler for as long as I could hold them off, but then of course I couldn't take pics. Sorry about that. Next time I will have to start earlier!
