About 190 give or take 5, but I also go a lot by feel if they weren't foiled at 165ish. Jam a fork or probe in there and twist or wiggle a bit; if it feels like a bowl of al dente spaghetti, it's done.

Might be worth noting though, that I usually don't cook cuts over 5-6 lbs and IIRC, my cooker runs at about 230F ish.
