    jim,
    Bump up the temp a bit and keep cooking. By the time you are ready to eat, it will probably be just right for pulling. Have fun.

    jim,[p]That is celled the plateau. I can last well over an hour. The meat temp may even drop a degree or two. The plateau is the time when the connective tissue breaks down (making the pork VERY tender).[p]Just hang in there, all is well![p]Smokey

    jim,
    you really need an internal of 195 for awesome pulled pork. i go to 200. you didn't say what your temp was but you can push it up to 275 - 300 to finish it off a little quicker.
