    Same here, I have had double stalls on pork butts before. Usually I only get a single stall when cooking hot (275-300) - more likely to get a double on low and slow (210-230)

    Also, as mentioned elsewhere, cuttin' hunk in half doesn' apparently do a whole helluva lot to accelerate cook time; it does provide more available surface area to brine, rub, smoke, season, etc., though.
    Two halves of a PB are still ~ th' same thickness, an' will take remarkably near as long to achieve desired probe tender, or IT...

    I’m sure the results were great! I’ve had two stalls. No biggie. 12-hours seems normal for a 225F cook on a PB.

    Weber kettle

    Cooking temp ranged between 225-235, on a Weber kettle. Figured I wasn't the only person to have 2 stalls. Not sure what's going on with the pics. Funny thing is I can see them using my desktop, but they don't come up on my phone. Weird.

    My first boston butt cook stalled twice also...I didn't think it was ever going to get to temp...Since then I have only had one other cook stall twice...But I also wrap most of the time now which helps with the stall issues.

    Agree with Horse Doc - Butts are very forgiving, you can raise the temp as high as 350 - which is called a ‘Turbo Cook’ .. in fact, you can do the whole cook @ 350 and finish it in 5 hrs or so. No one will ever know you didn’t slave over it for hours open hours.

    Yep. As mentioned above, it jus' so happens that some pieces of meat are jus' ornery, an recalcitrant!
    Multiple stalls certainly ain't unheard of...
    Ya' done good, an' learned some new things, here, to help ya' plan yer next cooks...

    Btw, yer pics ain't made it here, to Kansas Territory... leastwise, not yet.

    Agree with HorseDoctor starting early and having to hold is soooo much better then dealing with hungry folks. Yes, have seen multipal stalls on one hunk of meat.

    What temp were you cooking at? Pigs can be stubborn (as can cattle ). They are however very forgiving and I wouldn't be at all adverse to cooking a butt at 275 or better. They will still sometimes, do as they please and they are done when they are done. Good idea to always give your cook more time than you thing you will need. Way easier to "hold" the meat than hold back a hungry crowd...
