    Hmm.. Cooking a pork Butt. No real stall?

    I don't do pork butts to often... But that is what the wife wanted... Most times I crutch, but this time i did not. Never noticed the stall. I see the graph on the igrill. This was intentional because i have always crutched before and I wanted a crispy pieces. But why no stall?

    What was the size of the butt and at what temperature were you cooking at?

    One time I was doing a 2 pound chuck roast and it had a very short stall.

      9lbs bought. Trimmed a lb of fat off. So roughly 8lbs.

      8 pounds?

      Wow. I am at a complete loss as to why you had no stall. Do you know what temperature you were cooking at?

        Ok. Maybe a slight stall? What you think? Weber temp varied from 240 to 290 for a 9hr cook. I tried to show the graph. No luck. It did stall, but only for about 30 minutes if that. Not sure if this is normal or not since this is my 1st time not crutching...

          It doesn't sound normal to me. Not with the size of the butt and the temps you were cooking at.

          I've BBQ'ed lots of 8lb PB's and have never had one that had a short 30 minute stall. I never wrap. You just got a freaky piece of meat.😏

        Guys who smoke at 300 say they might get a short stall around 185 internal. Just curious what the temps were when that 30 minute stall hit, and what the stall temp was.

        People say without pics it didn't happen.

        So without a graph it didn't happen. kidding obviously......

          About 180F. I can tell you now the money part is schweeeeeet. And my son got into it and had 2 sammies. I am impressed because he didn't add any sauce.👍

            If there's anything I've learned about smoking it's that meat is unpredictable. I put 2 9 pound butts on at 7pm at 225. After just under 12 hours One is at 201 already and the other is stalled at 163. The slight hot spot on my pellet grill is actually on the side of the one at 163 right now. Now I get to keep my oven on keep warm until 5pm.

              Fine Swine - the one thing I've learned is that every cook is different, especially when dealing with butts. I've had 5 lb. butts stall forever and 9 lb. butt just rocket through.

              Never a dull moment in BBQ!

                I do a lot of catering, if the butts are soft to the feel before you put them on the stall is non existent they cook faster. Try to get Swift 1855 brand Butts awesome to cook.

                    I love the iGrill. But I swear I have about 5 bug fixes off the top of my head that would make that the best app.

                    That said, wish my last Butt cooked that quick. Just did a 6lbs and it took me 12 hours. Well done!
