Cook times per lb. for 300F pork butt?

[Tricky]

Doing a 7.5lb butt today hot and fast -- its in the pellet cooker now running at 300F-- obviously its done when its done (I rarely check internal temperatures on butts and don't really keep track of cook times) but since I will be away from home today and my wife will be monitoring the cook, I was hoping someone had a rule of thumb for time per pound when cooking at 300.

Any input is appreciated.

Just tell her to stab it with the thermapen until it reaches 198° or so...

At 300 you're looking at around 45 minutes per pound.

IME at 300 I figure 50 min per LB to bone wiggle YMMV

Yes 45-50 min per lb.

Thanks. She knows the bone wiggle trick, so this will help me give her an idea of when to start checking. Much appreciated!
