I am with you on being paranoid about temps. My wife used to always accuse me of under-cooking things. I now have three different thermometers that have all been verified so I make sure to check everything with two different thermo's when it is done just to make sure. Since I started double checking I haven't had any problems. If you start logging your smokes including the finished temp then you will get a good feel for what temps you like so you don't have to worry in the future.
Well here's the end result. Turned out fantastic. I was paranoid about the temps and all that but then I just decided to let it go until it hit the proper temp in the inside. Once it hit 180 I pulled it and let it sit for 45 minutes in a roasting pan.
