I found that out a few times back of the wood shed!nonono

Well.......how is it doing Tommy ?

Pulled my butt out of the smoker when internal got to 192, wrapped in a towel and put into a cooler. Still had the thermometer in it and the IT rose to 210. Is that normal? I haven read anything about that in all the studying I've been doing.

Yep, that's why a lot of folks foil em at 180 or so and then put em in a cooler, temp will rise and finish it out and the foil holds the juices.
Bet its gonna be good!!!!!

Thanks John. I foiled it at 160 and put it back in until 192. Getting ready to open it up.

I think I can smell from here!!!!!!

It turned out better than I could have expected. Moist, tender and tasty!!
