Tips for Pork Butt/Shoulder
- • Wrap at 165°F to push through stall
- • Rest for at least 1 hour
Smoking Tips
- Always cook to internal temperature, not time alone
- The "stall" is normal - meat temp plateaus around 150-170°F
- Use a quality instant-read thermometer
- Let large cuts rest before slicing - juices redistribute
- Keep smoker lid closed - "if you're lookin', you ain't cookin'"
