OK, I'm new to this forum. I'm a Montanan living in Florida. Have just purchased A Model #3. So far like it lots.
Here's my problem: after reviewing ton of threads about length of cook time I was a bit paranoid about today, company coming over and I'm doing two pork butts. Two approximately 8.6# butts (one little less, one little more), 6.2 Oz pecan wood, temp set at 240*. Put it in at 6pm last night. At 2:15 am they were up to 160*, wrapped them and put back in. One is still on smoker and is at 194*, the other was at 205* at 7:45 am (took it out and is in cooler). THE PROBLEM: we don't eat till 7 pm tonight! Alright, stop laughing, I was REALLY paranoid they were not going to be done in time! What do I do? What would you guys suggest regarding this dilemma?

, and then a couple hours before serving, shred and put in a crock pot with a little apple juice ang you will be good to go. The oven works well too.
