I am in the process of attempting to smoke a 11# bone in pork butt. Seasoned and injected Saturday morning.
Here is the time line
0630- preheat MES40 to 225*
Light maze w apple and hickory
0700- add slab of baby backs to top shelf
0800- add 11# pork butt on 3rd shelf, foil drip tray underneath
0900- foil baby backs
1200- pull baby backs. IT 158*, insert probe into butt, initial temp reading was 127 after 5 hours, turn unit up to 240.
1330 turn unit up to 250. 2nd probe on shelf was reading 10* cooler than the smoker says.
1645- probe reads 149*. Place butt in foil pan with apple juice and cover with foil. Turn unit up to max (275*). Shelf probe still reading cooler than smoker says.
1730- probe reads 154*. Shelf probe is reading 270*.
Plan is to go until IT hits 195* then rest and shred.
So by not getting to 134* in 4 hours, is this cook best thrown away?
Outside temp has been low 60s and windy.
