Regarding food safety, when in doubt, go with the worst case scenario. However, that may not be optimal for taste, of course.

The fatty will be mostly sausagemeat, so I would cook to an internal temp suitable for sausages.

I cooked mine to 170, and it was fine. However, it didn't have any fancy fillings in it.

So anythigs above 175 should be fine.

I go 165°F and then foil, wrap in a towel and leave to cool then slice.

165F is the minimum "safe" temp as already mentioned. Sausage meat will go a fair bit further before it starts to dry out. I try to grab it off as soon after 165 as possible.
