temps for sliced/chopped vs. pulled

SmokeyBear · Feb 12, 2007

190 or so seems to be the guidline for pulled pork and beef from everything that I have read. Should the same guideline be the goal if you are going to chop or slice the barbecue?

For pork, I take it off at about 180 or so to slice, 195-200 to pull (depending on the feel of the bone releasing out of the meat). For brisket, somewhere around 190 usually to slice, and that's all I ever do with it, other than burnt ends.

I agree ... you're a tad low on your pull temp at 190*F. For brisket, I often do a whole brisket and chop the point .... slice the flat.
