Pork Butt

[BrianInOhio]

I have a 4.97 lb bone in brined pork butt going. Been in 6 hrs and temp @174. I put 2 more hours on the timer.

Experts do I need to bump up the temp or ride it out? According to what I’ve read it could be anywhere from 8-10hrs going by weight.

This is about where the "stall" takes place, so I would just ride it out.    The smaller butts can be a real challenge in terms of the time required, but usually they run 1.5 to 2 hours per pound.

Those small ones seem to take forever. Hang in there and ride it out.

Hit 190 at a little over 7 hours. Wrapped up now and will pull for Mother’s Day Feast!
