    Do not temp it.  It is when the probe slides like butter

    Start probing at around 195℉-205℉ probing for like buttuh. Don't pull by temp alone.

    Standing by with great enthusiasm for this one :P

    Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

    Status- Standing by.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    The true "finish-line" indicator is when you can probe the thickest part of the flat and it feels like buttah.  That happens anywhere from around the mid-high 180's to the low 200's.  If you are FTC'ing then you might get away with a little carryover and could go with some light feel "resistance".  Temp is just a guide-the real experts will go by feel all the way.  "When it lets loose" is when you are there.  I'm not that proficient or adventurous.
    Wherever you declare victory-don't slice until ready to eat and slice against the grain.  Also-no worries if the point is running around 10*+ hotter than the flat-the high fat content means it turns out just fine.  FWIW-
    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. CHEETO (aka Agent Orange) makes Nixon look like a saint.

    Yes I do assume that. This topic has been covered about 748 times. Just saying it doesn't work on my computer.  Happy Holidays my friend!
