Cooking to TEMP NOT Time.

[dataz722]

If you don't want to use a thermometer when smoking a port butt get a bone-in butt. Cook it until the bone turns easily and it can slide out of the butt real easy. At that point it is done.

That works too. I just personally prefer the skewer but they are both the same principle.
