    it's safe at 140.  i would probably treat it like pork, and shoot for 145, then let it rest for fifteen minutes to a half hour, and it'll rise a little toward what most folks seem to prefer, 150-ish

    it'll actually still be moist if you hit 160- or (good forbid) 170+

    I pull mine at 150 and let rest for 30 minutes. Guaranteed food safe, guaranteed juicy.

    wrap it at 120-130 in foil to collect the dripping and maintain moistness, then let it go to 150 or so.  might pad it with a little butter when foiling. 

    I use to cook them all the time when our costco carried them.  great for a meal then leftovers for sandwiches.

    What @Dobie said. 155 is the magic #.
