Just hit 205-degrees, and pulled it from the smoker.  Bark looks great.  Wrapped in foil, and put it in a huge cast iron pot instead of a cooler.

How long to let it sit?

I generally do at least one hour, normally two, using the towel and cooler method. It's still ridiculously hot when I pull it. Like third degree burn hot

Mmmmmmm.... I thought about smoking some ribs today, but didn't have the 3 hours I wanted to smoke em'. I'm still a rookie in my smoke game. Eventually I'll move up to smoking other things than ribs lol

Seems I'm usually taking longer than I expected so don't have time to rest. When I have I wrap in towels and toss in a slightly warmed oven. Easier than bringing the cooler upstairs.

I try to wait until I can pull it by hand without burning my fingers through nitrile gloves. If I want to slow that down, I wrap it up, etc. If I am in a hurry, I leave it in an open pan on the countertop to rest.

I've kept pork in a cooler for 4 hours and it was still extremely hot when I got around to pulling it. Same for a whole turkey. Thanksgiving dinner cooked wayyyy faster than I thought but the cooler trick saved me

Couldn't wait any longer....after 90 minutes I put the bear claws to it...

Started with enough for 3 sandwiches tossed in Pineapple Habanero Sauce from Costco and spicy pickles.

It was too good to wait for photos...fuck that...

I always go to FTC to let the meat rest and the fluids to settle in. Usually @ 2-4 hours. Pull it too early and fluids drain. When I pull I always vacpac with fluids added back to the pack. Makes for great eats long after the cook is done.

FWIW, my wife usually dives in as I pull it off the grill. She likes it hot off the grill and 6 months later out of the vacpac.

YMMV

I just realized I didn't post this in GD like I meant to.

My bad.

Why--you posted in the forum of one of the greatest all purpose rubs invented. Got correct answers, and resulted in a yummy meal---sounds like you nailed it!


For the record 90 minutes is what I let mine rest at.
