From what I have read, it will keep cooking after you take it off so I doubt you took it off too soon. It looks mighty fine to me. However, if you want to make sure, you could send me some and I'll quality control test it for you.Disco I took them off at 203° maybe could of gone that last few degrees there was still some fat that didn't render. It is still moist and tender so I call it success. It has been wrapped in foil and towels in cooler since about 8.
