When the bone pulls out by hand.

When in probes like butter, no resistance, it's done. You can also test with the bone, it should pull out cleanly.

What they said. I have no idea what my finish temp is for a butt. Whenever there's no resistance when I probe, it's done. I use my Thermapen as a probe, but I don't look at the temp. It's like a toothpick.
