Internal temp guide

[slatts]

Hi All

Is there a rough guide to internal temps, as in what internal temperature is the meat cooked at.

Had a little look but didn't really see anything.
I see most people on here cook to a certain internal temp and a chart would be very helpful.
Does different weights cook to a different internal temp or is it all the same. I know different weights would take longer.

Would trial and error be a better way of learning these temps??

Many thanks

Thank you Ed

That's exactly what I was thinking of, saves the wife and kids getting ill and my bbq's being avoided by everybody without guts of steel.

How much higher for briskets and pork butts as I really want to do some pulled pork and brisket?

Many thanks again

pork butt's will be done anywhere between 190f-200f. it's best to test it with a thermapen and when pushing it in to the meat it should be like pushing the probe into warm butter, simillar thing with briskets.
