Core reminders
- •Start checking elk roast before the final target so you do not overshoot while waiting on the thermometer.
- •Probe the thickest part of elk roast instead of trusting surface color or juices alone.
- •Use resting time as part of the plan, not as an afterthought.
Common misses for this checkpoint
