Yes I foiled it at 164* before putting it in the oven. The bark isn't bad, but I'm sure it would have been better if I would've left it on the smoker the whole time. Next time I'll start it a lot earlier so it's not finishing at 3:30 in the morning!
The dreaded plateau!

I have gone Low and Slow on Butts with my MES as it will only go to 275*F and I usually do long cooks over night anyway. The Guys are absolutely right about going Hot if you wish. I and my Dad have Roasted Butts at 325*F for decades and they always came out fall apart tender and plenty juicy. There is no shame in Foiling or finishing in a Hot, 300*+F Oven to feed the family on time...Lord knows No one needs a Hungry crew coming out every 5 minutes and asking, " COME ON! When are we going to EAT!?!?! "...
