[I have a GOSM 3405GW smoker.Smoked some London Broils and did the 123 pork ribs and all went great. Only used the door thermometer for internal heat and a nice digital meat prob for the meat.
Now I got my first try at a Boston Butt it was 6 and 1/4 pounds. Figured 9 to 10 hours to do. And that included the wrap time in cooler for an hour. Started smoking @ 8:30 am. Cooked at 220 to 225 for 9 hours just got to 160 degrees. ?????? Seem like the Plato was around 157 degrees. At this point I wrapped with foil and cooked in oven at 250 degrees. total time 12 hours and the meat was 195 degrees. No time to put in cooler kids and wife wanted to kill and eat me. I pulled apart and served. Is this normal or should I invest in a good oven thermometer? Could that been the problem? Actually cooking at a lower temp. then thought.
The butt was good and tender with good flavor. Was practicing for my sons graduation party. looks like I will do them the day before thou.
