Haven't been around in a while because I haven't had a chance to fire up the smoker lately
I am planning to smoke a few butts this weekend for the neighbors. I have tried it with and without foil, and the results were similar.
The question: Why do you foil? Is it to speed up the cooking...
Well, it has a little sugar in it, but the vinegar offsets it.
