It was moist when I took it off. But after wrapping and resting it was nice and dry. Maybe I shouldn't have cut off the fat cap before resting? It was soft and moist when I took it off so it had to be something between taking it off and slicing that I did. I guess I'll change something and find out next time.

It was dry because of the temp you took it too. Flats will dry out fast when you get above 190.

I leave my fat cap on til i slice for serving.

I'll take it out sooner next time and see. Does it still need to rest 2 hours, doesn't it keep heating up for a while after you put it in a cooler?
