Reply to "First Butt this weekend"

What I have always noticed is that my butts never get to 195 while in the smoker. I usually have 2 talyor temp gauges in each one. I always use my thermapen and hit around 185-187. It's never over or undercooked. I think while it rest in the cooler, the temp might rise a bit but I have never tested it. The best temp gauge is your hand. After 14 hours, pull the shelve out, and grab the bone with your hand, now pull. If the bone pulls away from the meat, it's done.
