My first pork butt is on the smoker. What is everyone's preference for internal temp?
I do 190-195 and then into the FTC ( wrap in foil, wrap in towel and into a cooler) for a couple of hours, then pull.
Ditto! I've pulled some out at 200+, just because I overslept a bit.. ;)
190F minimum here, prefer 195-200F - the higher you go the softer the meat will be.
It's kind of a personal preference thing past 195F.
I prefer around 190-195 also. Make sure you give it a test pull starting at about 190. As usual, the IT is a pretty good guide but the meat will tell you when it's done.
190 - 200
Thanks!
Don't be tempted to turn up the chamber temp when the meat temp stalls at around 160*F. It is supposed to do that and you don't want to rush it through that stage. It'll eventually climb to 190+. Don't forget to post pics of your finished efforts. ;)
