To Wrap a Pork Butt or To Not Wrap A Pork Butt

One of the great things about old threads being resurrected is that it proves people had the same questions years ago they have today. Another thing it proves is there's no one way, or "right" way, to smoke a butt. Every butt I've smoked talks to me. They say, "What do you want, Ray?" I experimented until I found the answer that was right for me. And that method has changed several times. The great thing is that butts are the perfect meat to experiment on and they always taste delicious.

And yes, I'm seeking counseling for the butt voices in my head.

you guys that don't wrap, how long does the stall last when it hits ??....I know the stall happened to me at bout 155/160 before I found foiling before 150 keeps the meat going up in temp until 205....I did three 11lb shoulders for slices and pulled foiling at 145 tops, until it hit 205 then towels and cooler for bout a 1.5....all three shoulders were done under 6 hours, I even foiled my first brisket a45 and did not stall at all as well, came out great....
