    HELP! I have a question about lowest IT

    It is freezing here today and I am smoking a 9 lb butt. I was wondering, what is the lowest IT that I could go to foil and finish it in the oven? It has a good bark on it and the IT right now is 143 and that is after 9 hours on the smoker. Thanks! John

    BBQ Spots Shutting Down
