<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nOne way to overcome the stall is to wrap the meat in aluminum foil. This allows the internal temperature of the pork to climb without stopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, once you wrap the meat, it can’t absorb any more smoke. So, putting it into the oven at this point isn’t going to impact the final result too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And, in case you are wondering:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Should you cover pulled pork in the oven?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The answer is yes. When you wrap the meat, the heat trapped around the surface of the pork ensures that the meat starts cooking again. This way, you can power through the stall and have that pork shredded by dinner time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How Long Does It Take to Finish Pork Shoulder in Oven?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n If your oven is set to 225\u00b0F, and your 8-10 pound pork shoulder is at 165\u00b0F, figure it will take 2-3 hours. If your oven is at 300\u00b0F, that same pork shoulder might finish in a little over an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These times are estimates only. Several factors, like the internal meat temperature when it goes into the oven, the oven temp, and the size of the cut of meat make providing a time estimate tricky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, in barbeque, we don’t cook meat according to time. We cook to temperature and track the internal temp using a digital or instant-read thermometer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keep an eye on the internal temp. This will let you know when the pork should be taken out of the oven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If I\u2019m cooking pork butt, I pull it from the cooker or oven at 203\u00b0F. A probe or toothpick should slide into the meat with almost no resistance – like a hot knife through butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wrapping it Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n The next time you are running late with a cook or the weather isn’t cooperating, you now know what to do. Pop that pork in the oven to finish cooking it. No judgment here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For best results, wait until your pork hits 165\u00b0F internal temperature, so you\u2019re maximizing the amount of smoke it absorbs. Remember to wrap the shoulder in butcher\u2019s paper or aluminum foil before sticking it in the oven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By taking the meat out of the smoker at the stall and finishing the pork butt in the oven, you can save yourself a lot of time and hassle. Let’s face it – smoking a pork butt in a smoker can take a long time – we’re talking half a day or even longer!
