Just wondering if 190 IT is enough or if I need to get it to 195 got people coming to eat in an hour.7.5 pounder been in there for almost 17 hours.
You can pull it at 190F
Thanks I pulled it at 192 I want some FTC time for it before everyone gets here.I'll try and remember to take pics for yall.
Where do most people put the temp probe in the middle or closer to the end?

The thickest part of the butt.
Also, make sure the probe isn't touching the bone.
And not in a fat pocket!
It took 17 hours but was worth the wait.I injected it withCT and rubbed it with jan's rub.It came out very tasty and moist.Even though it didn't need it I made a batch of 10.5's sauce to top off the sammies. Only pic I got sorry to many hungry people drolling over my shoulder (http://[img]http://i1234.photobucket.com/albums/ff418/mez312/063.jpg)(http://i1234.photobucket.com/albums/ff418/mez312/067.jpg)[/img]

Cooked it at 220-230 but I had a lot of temp swings guess I need to get a PID hopefully that will help.
The type of temperature swings you are experiencing are not going to have an impact on the final out come of butts, briskets, or roasts. They will all turn out fine.

wow odd mine 12 hours at 200 and its done Bone in ( not sure if that makes a diff to cooking times )
Tim, have you done more than one 10 lb butt at 200 and it get finished in 12 hours? If so, that sounds a bit odd to me. What are you measuring temps in the Bradley and the IT of the meat with? What IT are you considering the butt done?
I'm not being critical at all. It just is contrary to what I have come to expect when cooking a butt. Especially a larger one like a 10 pounder at a particularly low temp of 200.

Ditto. It takes me 18 to 24 hours smoking/cooking at an average of 205. Do you have an extra heating element installed in yours?
I am interested in this also. I missed it earlier. My butts usually take a lot longer than that and at 225*

my recent 7.5 butt started at 11:00 pm and did not get done until 3 pm that was a blast at 225-235 regarding the wind and temp swing. if my math shows correct thats 17 hours......and it came out perfect....tell me where to get butts that cook that way and I will buy some! :P

Wow - that was a turbo butt. ;D My recent 8 lb butts with bone took 12-16 hours at 220*F and an IT of 190. I would think a 10 lb butt cooking at a lower temp would usually take even longer.

My butts can take that long or even longer some times. Not sure if I have ever had a big one go 12 hours even at 225.
Sorry guys been away ... Mine hits the IT I have no extra eliments or anything and pulls apart great !!!!!
