How to Cook It

Low & Slow (Oven or Smoker)

  1. Pat dry and season generously (a dry rub works well).
  2. Cook at 135–150°C/275–300°F, covered, for 2.5–4 hours depending on size.
  3. The cut is done when it's fork-tender and pulls easily from the bone, not just when it hits a minimum safe temperature.
  4. Rest 10–15 minutes before slicing or pulling.

Safe Internal Temperature

Minimum safe temp Best-texture target
63–71°C / 145–160°F ~95°C / 203°F (fork-tender)

These cuts are safe well before they're tender — cook past the minimum until the meat is fall-apart tender. (Source: Health Canada safe cooking temperature guidelines.)

Chef's Tip

Resist the urge to rush — the connective tissue needs time and heat to break down into that fall-off-the-bone texture.
