Interesting theory but at the temperatures involved does the viscosity of the liquid get that much lower? Say we take a butt off at 190,place it in a cooler for a couple of hours then pull it. Hopefully it is still above 140 for good food safety practise. Has the viscosity really lowered enough at say 150-160 or so from 190 to make much difference in how the fluid flows?
I'm not trying to argue for the sake of arguing. I just love to discuss this stuff and hear other ideas. It seems terms like "redistribution of juices" and "meat stops pulling in smoke at XXX degrees" gets thrown around a lot like they are indisputable facts, and maybe some times it's good to ask why do we say these things and what are they based on?
