I have an 8.5lb pork butt in the smoker for a little over 12 hours and I am getting temps at just about 159 set at 225. Is this the plateau I have been hearing about

probably so. could take 2 hrs per lb at that temp. you could go ahead and bump it to 250...
that plateau is at about 160 to 180. slow going through there...

I cranked it to 250 at the 12 hour mark and its up to 165 at 14 hrs. I probably should have started out a little hotter last night as it got pretty cold out
cold outside doesnt really seem to affect these cookshacks... some butts just take longer than others... what's the outcome now?
ok at the 18 hour mark its at 193 so any time now
oh my GOD!!! This pulled pork was the absolute best I have ever had!! First the ribs now the butt!!!! Pulled it out of the smokette at 200* and when I picked it up off the rack it started to fall apart
My 2 reasons for buying the CS was ribs and pulled pork and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I have ever made!!
