Keep an eye on it Dave. 4 lbs is small for a butt, but if you're cooking at 225Âº to 250Âº the temperature rise will stall out. Do a search of this forum on "plateau". I'm guessing you'll be looking at a few hours in the 165-175 range. Let us know how it turns out!

Who says it should take 10 hours?
