I was anticipating that moist and succulent texture. Minor problem. Will continue to experiment.
The last one I did I bought a whole one and cut it in half. Cooked one half to 155 degrees, let it rest for 45 min and it sliced great and was very moist. The other half I let go until it started falling apart to make pulled beef sandwiches, it was a lot drier but was fine after I chopped it up and mixed my sauce in it.
IMO 180 degrees may be a touch to much for me?
