I really don't try to "push" through the stall per se. But, I think with the large swings, the stall is prolonged more than it should be, resulting in liquid loss. I started wrapping my pork butts when they hit the stall, because I was getting 5-6 hour stalls on a 8-9lb pork butt. The result was a much shorter stall, and much juicer meat.
