    Oh, and I suspect the OP has figured it out by now. Or he's no longer with us.

    i know it was an old post but couldnt believe the temps were so high, i pull a tenderloin off low to mid 130's
    I prefer pork to be warm all the way through. 130-140° isn't. 145° seems okay though. The OP's 160-170° is from the 1950s! =)

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    yea but will I have to worry about getting sick? The recommended minimum temp is 170 degrees, whereas you and most others are saying 150 or so. I'm not terribly nervous about the 20 degree difference, but after getting salmonella a few years back I'm very cautious about food poisoning these days.
    NM- didn’t realize this was a ghost thread!

    What temp does the Corona die?  What's the recommend internal to pull bat meat?
