At the time of this photo, they were predicting another 8 or 9 hours and 6 to 8 inches more snow before the storm moves out of the area. I had to force my dogs to go out (they absolutely hate the snow). The wind is supposed to pick up pretty good in the morning and start the blowing and...
Don't know how many of you know about it yet, but I just saw part of a commercial for a new show on TLC. Thought it looked like it could be fun to watch.
Here's a couple of links I found describing the show.

I went and took a nap while the butts were resting in the cooler. (4 hrs.) When I took them out they were still way to hot to handle. Had to let them cool just a little. Here's the first one out:
The other one looks just like it, so I didn't take any pictures of it. Now here's the part...
Just plain apple juice. Wow, that went fast! Three hours after foiling they both hit 204 at the same time. If they stalled at all, I think I missed it. They're all wrapped up in towels and sitting in the cooler now.
More Q-View when I take them out to pull.
Ok, here it is about 5-1/2 hrs. later. This whole time the small one has been ahead of the larger one. Now all of a sudden, it's the other way around. Go figure. I didn't expect to be this far along already. I was expecting them to stall at around 150 - 160, but they just sailed through. They...
Picked up a package of butts at Sam's a few days ago. This will be a new experience for me. About 15lbs. for the pair. I don't know what the individual weights were, but one was a bit larger than the other.
Well, here it is about 5:00am and it is cold and dark out here. Quite windy too...
I'll have to give that a try next time I do ribs. I just did a whole bunch of them last week and had a real hard time getting all the membrane off.
Thanks for the tip.
I was just reading elsewhere about ribs and membranes. People there were saying that they have been getting some packages of ribs with the membrane already removed. (At Costco I believe they said).
Have any of you seen that before?

Now that my questions have been answered about foiling, I have another. I found a web page about preparing and cooking butts. Most of you have probably seen it before:

Anyway, now my question is, how many of you trim the fat cap and other...
Thanks, everybody,
Looks like I will probably try the suggestions to do it both ways and see what happens. I just wanted to be sure that if I didn't foil I wouldn't be doing it wrong. Appears it is more a matter of preference than a nessessity, so I'll do it both ways and not say anything to...
Is it nessesary to foil them? If not, How many of you do it anyway? What are the pros and cons of each way?
These will be my first ones and I want to get it right.
Thanks for your help.
Thanks for the kind words everyone.
Helljack6: The way I did these is pretty close to what you are suggesting.
Here's how I did it:
Temp was between 225 & 230
Time was somewhere between 5 and 6 hrs.
No foil
No flipping or rotating
And I never sauce while cooking (always served on the side)
