So I was doing my first Boston butt pulled pork today. Here's what happened. This was a 2.6 lbs butt.
Preheated the smoker to 225
I stuck the roast in at 5:30
Both smoker t-stats read 220 and 230
Internal temp rose to 145 around 6:45
Both smoker t-stats read 220 and 230
Internal temp rose to 156 around 7:45
Both smoker t-stats read 220 and 230
Internal temp DROPPED slowly to 152 by 8:45
Both smoker t-stats read 220 and 230
I freaked out and opened door, moved meat thermometer(had two separate ones) to different places in meat.
IT was now reading 148.
Smoker T-stats read 190 and 200
Freaked out again.
Foiled the butt with apple juice and a small amount of butter.
Put back in smoker and set temp to 250 at 9:25 PM
IT of butt rose very rapidly to 199
Took out of smoker when IT temp read 200 at 10:30
It is now in the resting stage with towels and cooler. I hope it's ok and will be edible. I have a good hour before I take it out of cooler and pull it. Wish me luck. Wish I had a camera to show you guys some Qview as you call it! I just hope this thing is edible.
