Hang in there John you're doing great, with such a good job so far I wouldn't change anything. I had a one plateu twice on me., but dude wait it out. It looks really good nice bark also. It's almost over.
 
What's happening John, is that 'Murphy' is at work here!...

I finally wrapped that butt at 163* instead of 165* I didn't think 2 degrees would matter. I wanted to get the wins on & didn't want the wing sauce dripping on the butt, the butt wrap is ok. That silly butt sat there @ 163* until just a few minutes ago and now is finally starting to climb again. I am now at 13 hour & I WILL prevale

i see your thermomter is set for 165.......i take it then you are going to slice it?
instead of pulling?

cause pulling is best 195-200 or so...........

Was taking to 165 to wrap then increase to 195* to put in cooler to pull for dinner

Foiling at 163F won't hurt a thing. Sound like you got one ornery butt there. Must have been a mean pig! You'll be fine. Enjoy the smoke!

Take care, have fun, and do good!

Regards,

Meowey
 
I ate 7 of them that wings, the wife ate 5, & we left 2 for my daughter when she gets home

Marinate in 1/2 bottle of store bought hot wing sauce a few hours.

Put on the top rack of the Chargriller (it runs about 25 to 50 degrees hotter then the main grate almost 300*) usually about 2 to 2 1/2 hours. moping every 1/2 hour with the other 1/2 of the wing sauce, 1/2 to 3/4 can of beer, & 1/4 to 1/2 cup of olive oil (olive oile helps to crisp the wings) I don't cut the tips off I fold them behind the main part of the wing so it stays in a triangle shape which helps to keep them moist because it is like a larger chunk of meat.
 
finally got that stuborn but up to 195* & pulled it off & into the cooler to rest. That pig must have been lazy it stopped @ every plateau it could find. It took 16 1/4 hours start to finish.

It is in the cooler with towels to rest before dinner & I have been up since I left for work yesterday morning so I must rest also before pulling & eating. Make sure to eat before checking back cause I plan to have some good q-view of the finish pull & if I can talk the wife or daughter into it some q-view of the pull also. (kind of hard to operate the camera with porky fingers.)
