1 When the internal temperature reaches 195Â°F (approximately 90Â°C), the pork is ready. 2  Cooking the meat beyond the USDA guideline of 160Â°F (70Â°C) renders out the fat and tenderizes the meat. 3  Remove the meat from the smoker, and let it cool for 15 to 30 minutes. Place meat back on the smoker, and cook for two hours more. 2  Using an instant-read meat thermometer, check the internal temperature of the thickest part of the meat, being careful not to touch bone with the tip of the thermometer. 3  When the internal temperature reaches 195Â°F (approximately 90Â°C), the pork is ready.
