I think you might be right. I took my instant read out to the smoker and checked another portion of the butt and it read 141 whole the digital read 161.
Thanks for the tip and I went ahead and move the probe.
I'll second moving it to the thicker part. I usually probe it in at least one other area before pulling to foil just in case I was in fat. I once did one and pulled it at 165 foiled it put the thermometer back in to get a reading of 147 after checking a couple other areas figured I must of been in some fat the first time
Very nice lookin pork. I bet that bone just about fell right out.
Lots of folks smokin their first butts today, what a great day for virgin butt smokers on SMF. I hope they all turn out as good as the one you just showed us!
