Need a little advise guys, this is my first smoked butt.
So picked up a 7.75lb pork butt last night and set it on my ECB around 2:20am this morning. It came up to 159 and plateaued, came back down to 152 and then up to 165 around an hour-and-a-half ago so I double wrapped it in foil and set it back down in the smoker after I fixed up some new coals. I've got my temp gauge stuck in the butt and I'm little confused. Temp went up to 171 and now it's back down to 162. So did it not really plateau before? When do you usually hit that point? At what temp?
Thanks in advance for the help!
