    slim,[p]You are just getting into the temperature range that all of the good things start to happen with the meal. Extending the cook in this temperature range is a good thing if you have the time available. If time is short, kick the dome to 250-275°F. The internal temperature will be slow to rise, but will quicken after about 170-175°F.[p]Spin

    slim,[p]Once the internal temperature reaches 170°F kick the dome temp up to 275°F. Remove the meal at 190-195°F internal temp and tent under foil for a 20-30 minute rest. Then pull it apart and enjoy.[p]Spin[p]
