I agree with Outback. Get it to 160 and then slice it with a knife.

The only thing I would wanna get to 195 is a chicken.


I used to cook competition BBQ.... you wouldn’t stay on a judges table if your pork butt or shoulder was at 160 and 195 is nowhere near burnt. If you’re going to try to correct folks at least know what you’re talking about.

what NSDQ160 said. 195 sure as hail ain't burnt. I finish mine alum foil wrapped to 200 and they shred just fine.


I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Sounds suspicious, I mean his name is 160.

I've never put a thermometer in mine, but I usually smoke them for 12-16 hours at around 180.

200 is way burnt. Like charcoal burnt.


I hate making a good first impression. There’s no way I can keep that shit up.

225 degrees for 12 hours on a butt; 16-18 hours on a shoulder. That stuff will be fine!!

205 here. I don’t trim the fat and wrap the last 50 degrees. Be really hard to “burn” a butt. It’s called crust.

All meat should have some blood showing, that's the flavor.

Done at 165, but you'll have to slice. It has to get to 200 internal temp to pull apart and no.its not burnt. I brine mine overnight and its juicy as hell.

It's called bark. If you've ever eat pulled pork, it was cooked to at least 195. It won't pull if it's cooked any lower than that.

If you want your pork 160 or lower, cook a pork loin/tenderloin or some chops. Butts need to get up to 205 low and slow. Now I do love the pork steaks that are made from slicing the butt while it's raw, I'll marinate those in some allegro and grill them fast and hot, those things are fine and cheap.

Well that would be some burnt azz chicken



I can't imagine anyone wanting rare chicken. I split them in half and put the thermometer in the thigh, and it takes about 40 minutes for my grill to bring it to 195. The outside is brown and the skin is a little crispy, but it sure isn't burnt. A lot of the fat cooks out if you get it to that temp.

The bark is the best part.

Proposing that a pork butt needs to be taken off at 160 degrees automatically destroys any amount of credibility of ever having knowledge/expertise about any subject or fact of life.

Sorry but it does.

That's just damn ignorant right there.
205-210 to pull it apart
175 to slice and still have the connective tissue and fat break down enough to not be chewing all night.

Rare? What you talking about Preach? 165/175 is the magic number for Chicken
