    2x 1.8lb Picnic Porks stalled at 190

    I've got two 1.8lb Picnic Porks they've been in at about 225 - 235 for 5 hours and I'm stalled at 190 IT. Is that safe to pull, rest and eat or should I just keep hanging on? I read on another thread to pull at 205 - 210. Any thoughts? I'm hungry :)

    Headed off to Thailand for a month with my daughter and just finished a fast. So had to do one last smoke before I head out!
