I put a 8.35 lb pork shoulder butt on the smoker at 12:45 am last night at 215 degrees. I have checked it multiple times since 6 am with the following temp results. 6 am - 160, 9 am - 165, 12 pm - 170, 1:30 - 172, 2:30 - 175, 3:00 - 179, 3:45 pm - 182. I want to pull off at 190 but am worried it might be over cooked. I check my thermometer last night and it was reading 2.5 degrees low (used boiling water). Looks done but unsure. Should I pull it off?
