Next time, just go ahead and foil as soon as it hits the stall, it won't make any difference at all.It stalled just prior to 160, but finally got there. Now it’s in the pan and covered as per instructions, and I’ll wait for an alarm at 205…
Putting together the finishing sauce from the sticky on the forums, may as well try that too. Planning to use it on half the pulled pork, for a with/without comparison. My sister in law is with us, and ketchup is about as ‘spicy’ as she gets. My wife and I aren’t much better, but we do like flavors:)
Ok thanks, I’ve stayed at about 240, it’s at 180ish now. 178/185- IRF/Traeger. Thanks for letting me know about the difference in temps to pull it.Next time, just go ahead and foil as soon as it hits the stall, it won't make any difference at all.
I personally don't foil my butts at all, I just bump the temp up to 275* as soon as it hits the stall.
You didn't mention what temp you're smoking it at. What ever temp you started out with once it's foiled you are no longer cooking low and slow you're steaming, so go ahead and bump the temp up to 275* to 300* it won't make one bit of difference, and it will speed things up drastically.
If you plan on holding it in a cooler covered with towels to keep it warm, pull it off the smoker when there is a slight resistance to the probe or when it hits 195* because it will keep cooking in the cooler.
If you take it to 205* then into a cooler to rest it will turn into mush unless you uncover it and let it sit on the counter for 30 minutes to stop the cooking, then it can go into the cooler.
So far everything looks perfect, good job.

And a fine cherry she is! Congratulations!And eating time
I did, I got the Inkbird IRF 4s. I was curious about the difference between the two. By the end of the cook, the Traeger was reading about 7 degrees higher than the Inkbird.Yum, that looks great.
I highly recommend that you pick up a wireless thermometer, traditionally the thermo's that are on these units are anything but accurate.
