    Quick clarification

    I am not going to put my probe in until the 5th hour of my 8lb shoulder cook. If I put it in and the meat temp is say 130 my four hours start them correct? I realize I may be good tong no matter as the first .5 inches is already 140 right?

    First shoulder foil dilemma
