Read lots of people wrap. Figured I'd try it. Maybe not wrap next ones. Trial and error until I find what a like. Definitely not my last one

First pork butts were a huge success...so much so that now I am making two orders for the neighbors and making some money on the side.

Thanks for the input guys. I used parts and pieces for a huge success.

Thanks for this info Joe. I am new to this as well. So as for the Apple Juice, do you set the Butt in foil then poor the half cup from the top letting it run down the sides of the Butt I suppose?

Thanks in advance!

Dallas,

How many hours in did you wrap and what temp did you cook at? Did you raise your temp after wrapping to get past the stall?

I put mine on at 225 - and 12 hrs later - IT of 171 and still had 4 hrs to go.

So what I did was take it off and throw it in the crock pot the next day. I made a vinegar / tabasco-like sauce for it - it turned out great. NExt time - 275.....

They were wrapped about 4 hours. I raised the temp from 225 to 250 for about four hours.

As for the apple juice...I wrapped 3/4 of the butt, leaving the top open. Then stood it on end, poured in the apple juice and then closed completely.
