If your meat is way ahead of schedule is it OK to turn down the temp on the smoker?

I've seen folks do that, but I haven't tried it. A problem I see with turning the smoker temp down is you run the risk of the meat getting into the food safety danger zone if the IT drops below 140F. Also, longer time in smoker could give too much smoke flavor (bitter), dry the meat out or worse miss the desired temp and have to delay serving. SELF INFLICTED STRESS ATTACK!

I take my meat to the desired temp or just shy of the temp, remove it from the heat, wrap it and place in a lined warmed insulated cooler or in a closed oven (~150F for safe holding temp). The meat will continue to cook after removal, the juices will return to the interior. For you: It's out of the smoker, sitting safe and happy waiting for plating. One less bell to answer and reduces the stress levels tremendously!

I'm sure there will be better comments from those a lot more knowledgeable than I coming along as well. 🍻
