Best temp to pull of pork shoulder / Boston butt?

190? 195? 200? 205?

Yes, I know this is an elementary question.

Pull on the bone when close. If it starts to pull out easily, you're golden!

Take this advice, don't worry about temp if your there, worry about feel. When it's like butta pull it

+1 I start checking bone pull around 190

203 f. No sooner! Put on cooler for 1.5 hours. Then pull!

There is no best temperature. Go by feel. Normally it will be ready in the 195-205° range.

I check around 200 to see if it probes like buttah. If it does and the bone has some wiggle, I pull it.

All of the above

I think too much is based off temp, cook to 190 and turn thermometer off, then probe until no resistance.
