ok so its Sat night Ive put two pork butts(almost 8lbs each) in my smoker @ 5:30pm, @ 225 degrees, I have them both probed... its 9:00pm now and they are already 145 degrees..are they cooking fast? i was planning on leaving them in all night...should i reduce the temp to 200 degrees to slow down the process more? any imput here would be great...ive read about this plateau @ 160 degrees...how long does this plateau last?
