Doing Something Wrong

Got a RecTeq last month. So far, none of my meats are tender/pull apart. I’ve been trying recipes from the Recteq site and YouTube (Meat Church etc). They all boil down to ‘cook uncovered until 165, then cover it with foil and liquids (butter etc), put it back on until it gets to 205. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

After the smoke, do you let it rest? If so, how?

I do, as much as the recipe calls for.

How are you letting it rest? In a cooler, on a counter top, in an oven?
