Here is when Danny Gaulden takes out his pork shoulders:

For a tender, easy to slice roast- out of pit at 180F internal For a
tender, easy to slice, pullable roast- out of pit at 185F For a tender,
easy to pull roast- out of pit at 190F

Remove roast from smoker and let stand for 15 minutes. Slice or pull off
meat in strips and separate from fat.

For pulled-pork sandwiches, chop the meat. Spoon some of the sauce onto a
fresh split bun/roll. Heap on meat and spoon on more sauce over meat.

Serve with coleslaw on the sandwich or on the side.
