I'm definitely not an expert, but I would say that it might partly
be because of your egg, but I would guess most of the difference in
time is due to the meat.

I cooked 2 butts that were exactly the same weight and size (from
the same pack as well), and one took 23 hours and the other was done
at about 18 hours. Same cooker, same method, same temp, different meat.

I will be interested to read what the experts have to say.
