It’s a tale as old as time. Boy meets girl. Boy and girl fall in love and start their life together. A decade+ later, boy promises that the pork butt will be done before bed and will just hot hold it over night. Pork butt isn’t ready when promised and girl finds boy passed out on the couch at 2:30 AM. Girl is now irritated with boy, who has to wait until dinner time tonight to prove to girl that the wait was worth it. Wish boy luck!

Just crank the heat and get it done, pork butt can take it.
If it’s open it ain smokin
Pulled pork omelettes are amazing.
Boy needs to turn into man, and not fear girl, fear woman. If all goes well from here, woman will forgive man when she gets the meat in her. Good luck man!
Take it off at 185° and rest, sliced pork > pulled pork.
The tastebuds are the final boss
Ahh the classic disconnect between the female meaning of “when” and the smoker’s meaning of “when”
When I mess up and the wife won’t let it be, I just play dumb. Mutter a few things, give some shoulder shrugs. Become a sympathetic target of her ire. Most ppl don’t like kicking a wounded animal. Stay strong and play dumb.
What’s in the drip pan?
Wrap that SOB and turn up the heat a bit. Helps to tenderize it as well in my opinion. Porkbutt can take the heat 👍🏻
Put it in at 325° from the start and it’ll be done in 6 hours and taste the exact same, newb.
