I am new to pellet smokers and am attempting a pulled pork. I have a 6lb Boston butt (no bone) that I did unwrapped overnight at 200-210. (hard to get the temp exactly right when using a smoking tube) I put it in at 8:30pm last night and it is now 10:00am and I am stuck at 170. I thought the stall happened at 150-160? Is it normal for a Boston Butt to take this long? Already 13.5 hours and stuck at 170 degrees? I really don't want to wrap because I don't want the bark to become soggy. But with this length of time, I am afraid I am drying out the meat? I did put a pan of water in the traeger as I saw many had suggested that.
Any thoughts or words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated.
