I normally go 200-205, wrap in in towels and put in cooler for at least an hour.

If you want to make pulled pork with some of it, J Lee's barbeque sauce is awesome. Veteran owned company in Biloxi.

202-203 seems to be the sweet spot for me. As previous poster said, wrap in foil/towels and sit in cooler for an hour or two.

Like most everyone else has said, I find 203 ish to be best. Then I let rest for about 2 hours. You could pull at 1 hour of rest if you’re in a hurry, but 2 hours of rest is much better.

I was never a big believer in using your cooler and towels. I cooked one last fall and had to run my daughter to soccer practice so I tried the cooler method more out of necessity than on purpose. It was probably the best one I’ve ever cooked

195 works for pork. 195 is a little low for brisket. You have to probe brisket. It’s done when it’s done which is generally north of 200.

Smoke on about 175 for 3 hours
Sous vide on 145 for 48 hours
Sear in broiler

Takes time, but best pork butt I've ever had

Seen this posted many times.

What is the purpose of wrapping it in towels and leaving in a cooler for an hour? Is that the typical resting method?

Just wondering why you can't just wrap in foil and leave on the countertop.

To retain the heat while the meat relaxes to retain moisture
