Ok how long after the plateau does it take to get a pork butt up to temp? got my first butt going and the plateau lasted an hour and a half at 153. Smoker has been steady between 230 and 240
Be patient and you will be rewarded with a nice juicy tender piece of meat. Now with that being said if you are out of patience or really need to get it done if your at 153* go ahead and spritz/mop it and foil it this will usually break the plateau and things will go much faster in the foil. In my opinion it is better to just ride out the plateau and you get a better product.
14 hours? Ouch.. should have started earlier than 0630. timed it based on the pork butt sticky thread of 1.5 hours pound. sound like it's closer to 2. gunna be a late supper
At least the BBGOSM is working nice. temps are stayin pretty stable despite the large changes in OAT here in CO today.
Temp is up to 157. looks like it's out of the plateau.
