numbers/temps can be deceiving, but a toothpick never lies


when the bone comes out or when you squeeze it with tongs and accidentally start pulling it and have to go grab a spatula
 
Done temps will very depending on the type of cooker, breed of pig, and the cooking temp. In general, the lower your cooking temp, the lower the "done" temp will be. The higher the cooking temp, the higher the "done" temp will be. Probe tender all over or when the bone wiggles freely are the best indicators. This could happen in the high 190's, or may be as high as 215F if cooking at higher temps like 325F. An extended rest period is just as good for pork butts/picnics as it is for briskets. I like to rest my Butts/Picnics for at least 3 hours before attempting to pull.
