[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2768278, member: 9374"] Unreal.... This is the 2nd time this has happened to me - once in a while you get a pork butt that just WILL NOT COOK. Most of the time, I'm cooking a butt for between 5 and 7 hours to reach my ideal temp, which is 204. This one today took me a full 11 1/2 hours, and I STILL pulled it off at 199F. It's still amazing, the bark is slightly thicker, which I don't mind a bit... that chewy, sweet/salty bark is almost the whole reason I do this. But it's just sooooo soooo strange to once in a while get one that takes so long to cook. Can really throw a wrench in any plans you have - my parents had come up and while I did get to share a rack of ribs I threw on as an afterthought, they had to leave a couple hours before the pork butt was done. What a bummer. Just really strange. Temps and all were the same as always, essentially, but this one just would not cook. Anyone else run into this sometimes? This is the 2nd time it's happened to me, out of maybe a dozen times. [/QUOTE]
